Padlet: How do I share a Padlet?

Third party apps and tools

Once you have created a Padlet you can share it with your students on Blackboard or send them a link. Students do not need to log into Padlet to contribute to your Padlet once you have shared it with them.

Privacy Setting for Sharing

If your Privacy setting is set to Private students will not be able to view or contribute to the Padlet even if they follow the link or it is embedded in Blackboard.

  1. In Padlet open the Share panel.
