Getting Inspiration for your Padlets
Create a Padlet
- Login to Padlet: https://padlet.com/universityofleeds using your University of Leeds credentials. If you have not yet created a University of Leeds Padlet account see, Create a Padlet account.
- The Padlet dashboard will appear, select the Make button.
- Choose a Format. For example, Wall, Coumns, Table, Timeline or Map. Or choose a Sandbox or Template.
- Padlet adds a default title. Amend the title and if you wish amend the Format, you can choose a Format and then select Done.
- From the Padlet settings button (or cog icon) you can add a description. You can also change the wallpaper but avoid white because it can make comments difficult to see.
- Enable or disable posting and content settings such as displaying the author names on posts, allowing post comments and post reactions.
You can change the format used for a Padlet after it has been created. For more information, see the Change the template format used for my Padlet guide.
Add Posts to a Padlet
- Double-click on the Padlet or select the Add post button (or plus icon) on the bottom right.
