Padlet is a discussion platform used to engage students in dialogue and idea-sharing in a digital space.
Padlet can be used to:
- Post weekly news and current events pertaining to course concepts
- Facilitate student comments and other media sharing—peer-to-peer reflection
- Develop a database of discussion forums that students can reference later in papers and presentations
Advantages include:
- Seamless integration with Canvas
- Students log in with Google, which is automatically tied to their Northwestern emails
- Through a series of forums, students can browse discussions week by week to reference past discussions and consider how knowledge and discussion evolved through the course
