What is Padlet?

Padlet is a collaborative online platform for creating boards with different media, content, images, or text. It is a wonderful classroom tool to track discussions or offer students different ways to participate in lessons. With Riverdale, we have a school-wide subscription to Padlet for students and faculty. Padlet boards can be easily shared amongst Riverdale community members, making it an easy and reliable tool to use in the classroom.
