Padlets are online visual collaborative tools that allow participants to interact by posting text, links, images, videos, and more. Montclair State has acquired a site license that allows faculty and staff the ability to create an unlimited number of Padlets. Padlet is made up of three tools:
- Padlet Board – an online collaborative bulletin board that allows participants to organize, collect and share ideas
- Padlet Sandbox – a collaborative digital whiteboard with tools for drawing, writing, and adding media
- Padlet TA – a collection of AI-powered tools designed to assist teachers in content creation and classroom management
Use the Padlet Account Request Form to request a Teacher account associated with your Montclair State University NetID for Padlet. After your Padlet account request is received and approved, go to montclair.padlet.org/, then log in with your Montclair Google Account (NetID and associated password).
When setting up your padlets for student assignments, you should always check your privacy settings. It is highly recommended that you set your privacy settings to Secret and visitor permissions to can write so that it is hidden from Google and public areas of Padlet.
To change your privacy settings, do the following:
- Click on Share then Change Privacy.
- Enable the Secret option.
- Set the Visitor permissions to can write.
