A Web service that you can use to create an online bulletin board where you can make notes and information to share with other people is the Padlet website.
I have chosen to tell you about it in this tutorial of mine since it is an excellent service dedicated to productivity that will allow you to create a virtual bulletin board in which to add different contents, thus allowing you to range between multimedia and textual contents.
This Web tool is also available in your language and is perfect to be used as an online platform to collaborate on different types of projects: it can therefore be used at school or even at work level or simply it is also possible to make a personal use of it.
