Embedding a Padlet in Canvas
Embedding a Padlet in your course is easy.
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 post to the Padlets. 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 copy the embed code and paste it into Canvas.
