Control Alt Achieve How to Use Padlet in the Classroom: A Fantastic Teaching Tool Padlet is a versatile, easy to use tool for every teacher’s toolkit. Let’s learn the basics.

You can customize your Padlet page with a different background, title and more. Organizing Richard Byrne taught me something new today.
