Create a Padlet Account

Padlet is an online software that allows people to create and share content. It's like a combination of a document and a website builder, giving everyone the ability to create various types of content such as bulletin boards, blogs, or portfolios. To use Padlet at UIW, you'll need a UIW Padlet account. This account is different from a regular Padlet account created outside of UIW as it enables you to create Canvas assignments, make an unlimited number of Padlets, and it removes many assignment restrictions.

To create a UIW Padlet account:

Log in to Cardinal Apps
Open Padlet
Select Continue with Cardinal Apps
Select Start
You can import existing Padlets from a personal account. if you:
- Have existing Padlets to import: Select Sign in to padlet.com and follow the prompts.
- Don't have existing Padlets or an account: Select Skip to continue.
Select Go to My Account home
Get started!
