PADLET APPLICATION

Padlet is a useful tool in the information literacy classroom because it works on a vari-
ety of different devices, does not require participants to create accounts to use it, and
requires no special technical know-how” (Fuchs, 2014). It means that using Padlet in
instruction has provided a supportive space for collection and classroom collaboration
because students are encouraged to contribute and learn from one another.
ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES PADLET

Padlet group.
2. Second, Padlet can give some motivation to the students. Long, Ming, and Chen (2013: Wulandari, 2018) stated that motiva-
tion has a significant role to learn writing because motivation supports learning writing activities which have been conducted
in internal process of learning writing. Students who have high motivation will be active to learn writing, express their under -
standing about writing and focus on attention in class to master writing as well as regular learning in the classroom (Guzer &
Caner, 2013; Dewitt, 2015).
3. Third, Padlet has shown significance in improving writing where the platform gives an opportunity to share students’ as -
signments and receive feedbacks.

error. Sherif (2015) explained that the connection error as one of the problems when students join in an online learning activity.
2. Second, Padlet has its limitation to organize input on the wall. Students often find some files in the crowded walls as they write
on Padlet. The wall will look messy and disorganized. It is supported by Deni and Zainal (2015), the arrangement of posting on
the wall is disorganized and its effect of the posting will be unreadable.
3. Third, students can cheat other students’ works. According to Raines and Brown (2011) revealed that a clear majority of students
in online learning want to be dishonesty. Students may have motivation to increase their scores through seeing other students’
work.
