What’s a Padlet?
In its purest form, a Padlet is a digital pinboard. You can dress it up or dress it down. These pinboards have received significant attention and usage in the education world with the rise of digital learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But they also have great potential to help increase collaboration in the workplace.
Collaboration is what makes Padlet special. One of the strengths of this platform is that each contributor has an equal voice.
What are ways you can use Padlet to Increase Virtual Collaboration?
You might consider using Padlet for the following:
- Icebreaker board to connect pre-meeting.
- Voting board to aid in deciding which topic should discuss at an upcoming meeting or which training they feel they might need.
- Resource board, one that could be for HR resources or project-specific collections.
- Pre-training exercise board to introduce employees a topic and track growth.
- Interactive exercises during a digital meeting
- Q and A board during a meeting. (Also sometimes called a parking lot.)
- Company feedback form.
- Exit ticket, to be completed at the end of training to help increase reflection and assess learning.
