A shared class board, free and with no limit on how many you make. Pose a question on the whiteboard and let the class answer. Pupils join on their own devices — scan the QR code or type a 4-digit code at sageteachers.com/join — and send sticky notes, drawings and links, each with their name on it. Every post waits in your tray until you put it up, so you decide what the class sees. Drag notes around to group them, or press Straighten for a tidy grid. No pupil accounts, no email addresses, no passwords.
Is there a free Padlet alternative for teachers?
Yes — Working Wall is a free shared class board. Unlike Padlet's free plan, there is no limit on how many boards you can make. Pupils join with a code on any device, with no accounts and no sign-up.
What can I use instead of Google Jamboard?
Google Jamboard shut down at the end of 2024. Working Wall is a free alternative built for primary classrooms: pose a question, and pupils join with a code to send sticky notes, drawings and links to a shared board on your whiteboard.
Do pupils need an account or a login?
No. Pupils scan a QR code or type a 4-digit code at sageteachers.com/join, then type their first name. There are no pupil accounts, no email addresses and no passwords.
How do I stop inappropriate posts appearing on the board?
Nothing appears on the board until you approve it. Every post waits in your tray with the pupil's name on it, and you tap to put it up or bin it. There is also an automatic language filter, and an auto-approve toggle for classes you trust.
What can pupils put on the board?
Sticky notes in six colours, drawings made on their own device, and web links. You can drag notes around the board to group them, or press Straighten for a tidy grid.
Can I keep a board for the next lesson?
Boards are free to make and last the lesson, and you can print the finished wall at any time. Saving a board to reopen next lesson is a Pro feature.
Want one word from everyone instead? The Word Cloud builds a live cloud from the class's answers. For the teacher's own board, try the Whiteboard, and for thinking prompts to put on the wall, Thinking Routines.
