Quick Start Guide
Padlet is a real-time collaborative web platform for sharing, collaborating, and organizing. Padlet creates virtual bulletin boards called “Padlets” in a range of formats and styles.
Langara has a limited number of licenses for Padlet. Contact edtech@langara.ca to obtain a Padlet license.
Getting Started with Padlet

Making Padlets
Choose between a Blank board or a template from the Gallery – hover over the templates in the gallery to see how they can be used.
If you choose a blank board, you start from scratch. Give your board a title, choose the Format of the board, and the level of organization of your posts.
If you choose a template, your Padlet will include additional instructions, information, and examples of use.
