**Tool name: **Padlet.com (http://padlet.com/) **Short Description: **Padlet can be easily integrated into a pedagogic practice using the Google account auto sign-in feature. Padlet allows teachers to set up a digital platform (referred to as a "wall") that basically opens up/modifies a traditional SmartBoard and turns it into a collaborative place that students (who have the link) can all access from their devices simultaneously. Teachers can control the settings as they see fit (depending on grade level) and educators and students can "pin" information on the padlet (text, videos, photos, pdfs, etc.) **Examples of Uses:* ***Padlet can be used in many different capacities within the classroom. As a pre-assessment tool, padlet offers a more visual version of a traditional KWL chart and also makes for easier KWL revisiting at the conclusion of a unit. Padlet can also function as a vehicle for student communication within one class, between classes, or even between classes in different states/countries. Padlet can be used as a digital space to showcase student work and allow for student feedback. Student presentations can be "pinned" to a padlet wall and shared with peers, parents, other grade levels, etc. Padlet would also work well as a place to pin reflective prompts.
