On its most basic level, Padlet is a collection of virtual sticky notes where many users can collaborate on the same bulletin board. In this example, the teacher has provided a word of the day, and the students have all posted their own example of using the word in a sentence. All the students need is a weblink to your Padlet, and they can immediately post their thinking on it.
