This week witnessed a major tremor in the Twittersphere when 10 Million monthly users woke up to learn that Padlet, a popular classroom has adjusted their pricing model. What happened after that was the coming together of passionate educators about a much-loved technology product to help each other understand why decisions such as this have to happen and also to provide support and alternative ways of providing outstanding lessons in the classroom.
In this episode of the TeacherCast Podcast, we sit down with CEO Nitesh Goel to discuss the recent price restructuring of Padlet and what it means to educators moving forward.
I wish to thank Nitesh for a very open and personable conversation. For the last few months, I have been touting Padlet not only to teachers in my own district but at several regional professional conferences. I hope when listening to the interview you will take the time to hear the beginning, middle, and end of the conversation to get a full understanding of why certain decisions were made and why other decisions were not made.
