Padlet

Padlet  is a great collaboration tool within classrooms, and especially for online classes. Everyone can see everyone else's ideas and comment on other students' ideas. 

It is not just for sharing ideas. It is multimodal - you can insert text, images, urls, your favourite songs and many more. It makes sharing really easy!! You can use it as a screen recorder, audio recorder, to draw, and to share music from Spotify!

You can get a free account to host 3 Padlets.
