So I created one for the elearning showcase in Wellington on the 21st February. It was pretty easy and look forward to sharing on twitter and taking and sharing photos during the event. Only draw back is the Americanisation of the date. I like the fact I can have all of my events on the app and can share via social media during them. It's a great tool and really easy to use. Here's the one for the elearning showcase http://my.yapp.us/J9Y49R.

Formerly known as WallWisher, Padlet is a cool web app which allows anyone to easily create, share and publish multimedia contents with extreme ease. Padlet provides an empty canvas on which you can upload and freely position any image, link, video or file you want. Actually you have two options for layout: a) Stream (as in a blog) and b) Freeform. Your final composition can be published as a public page, shared on social media or embedded fully inside your website or blog. Padlet works across all types of devices and screens. Free to use.

Mi limito a tradurre in italiano quanto scritto da Robin Good: Precedentemente conosciuto come WallWhisher, Padlet è una webapp che consente a chiounque di realizzare, condividere e pubblicare facilmente contenuti multimediali. Padlet fornisce uno spazio nel quale è possibile caricare e posizionare dove si vuole qualsiasi tipo di immagine, link, video, o file. Attualmente le opzioni per il layout sono di due tipi: 1. Stream (come in un blog); 2. caricamento di uno sfondo personalizzato. Il risultato finale può essere pubblicato come pagina pubblica, condiviso nei social media o incorporato in un sito web o blog o forum.
Posso aggiugnere che mi sembra un servizio che può essere facilmente utilizzato nella didattica in quanto offre la possibilità di creare spazi organizzati in cui presentare temi e problemi disciplinari o multidisciplinari e aggregare informazioni dal web su temi specifici. Un utile strumento per l'insegnamento e l'apprendimento.
Per utilizzarlo è sufficiente registrarsi, l'uso è libero e gratuito.

Hi Stan, I hear your complaint there and I must say that you are not the only one seeing that issue.
I have been reporting interoperability issues with other services since at least a year but to no avail. Unfortunately new features and support for mobile devices seem to have a priority on fixing the foundations first.
