A collaborative tool that now can include: audio, video, drawings, maps, images, search and more

Sometimes revisiting a good collaborative tool helps us remember why we used it in the first place. In addition, we become aware of updates and new features that may help our students communicate their thinking more clearly. 

Padlet is a great collaborative tool and now has seven (7) new updates and all of them connect to requests/needs that we have heard from teachers in the past.
