As a result of guided examples, online resources, sharing and hands-on practice, participants will be able to:
* Understand and customise Padlet settings, feedback options and formats.
* Customise provided Padlet templates for scaffolded and visible learning.
* Create group and class Padlet templates from scratch to meet different learning outcomes.
* Maximise Padlet as a tool for meaningful and engaging student learning through collaboration, personalisation, co-curation and creativity.

Supporting research

The research that informs the use of Padlet in particular can be found in C Cleary's 2022 article in the Journal of Classics Teaching, "A Case study investigation of Year 8 students’ experiences with online learning through the Padlet app in a state-maintained girls’ grammar school" - DOI: https://doi.org/10.1017/S2058631022000150.

In terms of guided inquiry, we are informed by Manioti, Kuhlthau and Caspari's 2008 book, "Guided Inquiry: Learning in the 21st century."

Broader research which informs our focus on self and peer evaluation, and other visible thinking and learning strategies is found in Hattie and Clarke's "Visible learning: Feedback" (2018) and Hattie's earlier book, "Visible Learning" (2008). Further information can be found on the Visible Learning website: https://visible-learning.org/
