The Four C's in STEM: Communication with Padlet

Padlet (formerly Wallwisher) is a dynamic way for students to brainstorm and collect ideas for a project.  Acting like a virtual bulletin board, this online app allows users to create digital sticky notes and arrange them on the canvas.

Part of the beauty of this application is that users don't need to create an account, although opting to create one provides additional features like being able to post to the wall for more than 24 hours and toggle back and forth between different walls.

 Whether an account is created or not, users can share their walls to social media, embed it into another site, or use the provided QR code to access the wall on a phone or tablet. Users can even select a custom URL to make it easier to remember.

Padlet also has a export function, allowing users to export their wall as a PDF, excel file, or a host of other very useful formats that further communication amongst team members.
