Most traditional classrooms are dominated by teacher’s one-way presentations. As a result, there is also too little time left for class practice, not to mention time for asking learners to reflect on their learning. Teaching contents are in most cases one-size-fit-all, and learners are busy taking notes on their own rather than absorbing new knowledge through a reasonable level of team-workmanship and collaboration. Another drawback of the traditional
classroom is that it does not encourage critical thinking - the ability to actively apply information gained through experience and reasoning. The learning contents are only simple concepts at surface level.
Problems in traditional classrooms
There aren't any ways of answering questions and solving problems anywhere and anytime.
Work with a limited time period.
No way to work with the group after the classrooms.
No media to share ideas and assumptions with others.
No way to help students to understand and solve problems after the classrooms.
Haven't a better place to share notices with everyone.
When the student missed the session cannot rejoin.
Steps to identify the solution.
Identify the people who will use the product, what they will use it for, and under what conditions they will use it.
Identifying requirements
framing the delivery of the knowledge in a learning environment that takes students' prior knowledge and assists them in making connections to real world
what would we intend students to know and do after going through a lesson and finally the whole course
kind of assessment that helps students to obtain feedback on their performance level and provides a chance for them to improve themselves.
students being part of a learning community consisting of peers and instructors

Evaluate Design - testing with actual users, is as integral as quality testing is to good solution.
Solution
Solution is padlet, padlet is a virtual classroom that is device-neutral, as it works on any internet-enabled device, including: PC, laptop, tablet, smartphone. This means it can work easily in any school which is making use of a mixture of devices. Another selling point is that no software or apps need to be downloaded or installed, so it can be used immediately by anyone with internet access.
Padlet, a ‘free’ web 2.0 tool, is a platform where virtual walls can be created. A virtual wall functions like a notice or a white board where one can pin multiple and different types of files (word documents, images, audio files, videos) on. The creator of a wall has control over the content, design, layout and privacy of the walls. When designing a wall, the creator can choose from the different ‘wallpapers’ given to design the background of a wall and when there are multiple postings on a wall, he or she can ‘arrange’ them in different layout. The creator of a wall can also control who can access the walls by making changes to the privacy setting.
For example, he or she can make the walls exclusive (by providing visitors the QR code, the links and/or passwords to the walls) or make the walls public (walls can be ‘found’ through internal or Google searches).
The links/addresses to the walls can be personalised. Furthermore, the creator can also ‘control’ what visitors can do on the wall, for example he or she can allow visitors
Only read what is on the wall.
Write on the wall and edit their own posts (but cannot edit or approve other visitors’ posts)
Moderate (can view, post and edit and approve others’ posts Padlet.com).
The creator can also moderate posts before letting others view them. The content of a wall is permanent unless it is deleted or the wall is deleted. One other feature of Padlet is that it allows any number of writers to post comments or upload a file at the same time. Posting on a padlet wall will be viewed in real time. Like any other web tool.
