Hi Donna, Thanks for your kind comments! :) This course is affording me a great opportunity to learn the digital skills required for training K-12 public school teachers in Brazil to use and create OER, which is going to be my doctoral dissertation (a Design-based research). I just recently concluded my 2nd year of doctoral studies at Athabasca University and my area of study is distance education. About the padlet tool, it's extremely easy to use, intuitive and free. However, you have to register for it. The only downside to the padlet tool is that I wasn't able to include a link or an image of it in Wikieducator. I used my WordPress blog to do this. Padlet allows you to share the storyboard as an image and then you can incorporate it in your blog. This doesn't work for Wikieducator. Apparently there are open content issues with the padlet tool.
