How do I create a Padlet account?

For Padlet's School platform, you will need to create a Tufts Padlet account. This will allow you to login to Padlet via SAML (Dual Factor Authentication).

Using the browser of your choice, enter padlet.com/tufts in to the URL box.

Click Continue with SAML

Log in with your Tufts User ID (UTLN) and Password

This is the Dashboard of Padlet - Select +Make to start a new padlet

Click Blank board to open a blank padlet

From the +Make a padlet option, you can choose to start a blank padlet or blank Sandbox or choose from a template.

After you have created the padlet you plan to use you can add the padlet as an assignment within Canvas for your students to collaborate on.

NOTE: Please note that if you already have a padlet account, creating a Tufts Padlet account will create a second account.

You can import previously created Padlets. This will transfer the original Padlet but will NOT transfer over any comments or contributions not created by you.
