Using Padlet for video feedback

Padlet is a viable solution for video-based feedback in educational settings. Teachers can create interactive boards where students respond to discussion prompts using Padlet’s built-in video recorder. The platform auto-generates captions for all video responses, improving accessibility. It also allows students to engage with one another’s posts through video replies or text comments. Customizing a padlet involves configuring fields like user names and activating moderation settings, either manually or automatically. Although Padlet’s video recording features are quite basic — it lacks advanced editing tools like trimming or filters — it offers sufficient functionality for classroom discussions. Free users are limited to three padlets, but a premium subscription provides unlimited boards. The platform’s referral program also helps increase the number of available padlets. Paid plans expand video length limits beyond the free tier’s two-minute cap, making Padlet a flexible tool for both short and longer video submissions in educational contexts.
