allow viewers to comment on posts. There is a reaction section that can also be turned
on. The reaction section allows you to either like posts, vote on posts, give stars to posts
on a scale of 1-5, and it allows you to grade posts by giving them numeric scores.
8. Padlet has an option for content filtering. You can require a moderator to approve a post
and you can have bad words replaced with emojis. These options are turned off when you
start your padlet so you have to turn them on when you begin working on your padlet.
