3. Padlet
Padlet is an internet application that allows people to express their thoughts on a common
topic easily. It does not require any software installation. It works like an online sheet of
paper where people can put any content (e.g. images, videos, documents, text) anywhere
on the page.
Padlet works across multiple devices including mobile phones and it is completely free. It
can be embedded into your blog or website.
It enhances collaborative work. Multiple people can post to the same wall at the same
time. There is no limit to the number of people that can post at the same time.
