Padlet allows students to further explore their abilities and encourages them to share ideas and collaborate in learning. The purpose of this study was to know how students and pre-service teachers felt about using Padlet as a tool for learning grammar and writing in secondary education. A qualitative descriptive design was used in this study. Participants in this study included sixty students and six pre-service teachers from both a state school and an Islamic school in Indonesia. The data for this study were obtained through a closed-ended questionnaire along with observation and interviews that were aimed at obtaining the perceptions of students and pre-service teachers about the use of Padlet for teaching and learning grammar and writing skills. These were then analyzed using a qualitative descriptive method. The results of this study were that Padlet can be used as a learning tool that was quite effective and efficient for learning grammar. Learning implementation using Padlet allows students to better understand the material by exploring ideas through the Padlet platform.
