Padlet is a website that is used for making and sharing content. The goal of Padlet is to give it's users a digital canvas where they can share anything they want with their audience. The most common use of padlet is classrooms. Teachers can use this website for Announcements, lesson contents, and creating assignments. Students can also contribute to the content created in the padlet page when given control and this helps with gathering the ideas of the students in a virtual place. But even though it is an usefull tool to use in ELT classes, I am not a fan of this website. And the only reason for that is it's interface. There is not much tools to make the virtual space a desirable one. the backgrounds and colors are very basic and there is not many things you can use to caught the students attention. But if you don't mind that, I would recommend you give it a chance.
