There are a lot of creative uses for Padlet.

Canvas (easy method)

Padlets, by default, are set so they are secret, so people without the link should not be able to find them. But those you have shared links with can automatically post to the Padlets without logging in. This means all you need to do is embed a Padlet into your course and students can automatically post to it.

All you need to do is To embed a Padlet in a Canvas course, copy the embed code and paste it into Canvas.

Info

If you would like to take added precautions to keep a Padlet wall more private, we recommend changing the share settings to "Password." Then type the password onto the Canvas page and embed the Padlet beneath the password.

Example Password-protected Padlet

To view the Password-Protected Padlet, enter the password "unicorns”.
