Create a Padlet Account

Padlet is an online app allowing people to create and share content on visual boards, also called padlets. It's like a combination of a document and a website builder, perfect for group discussion thoughts, bulletin boards, blogs/vlogs, or portfolios. To use Padlet at UIW, you'll need a UIW Padlet account. A school account is different from a personal Padlet account created outside of UIW, giving you unlimited boards, removing restrictions, and integrating for instructors with Canvas Assignments. To create a UIW Padlet account:

Log in to Cardinal Apps and open Padlet.
Select Continue with Cardinal Apps.
Select Start and Sign in to padlet.com to import existing boards from a personal account or select Skip to continue.
Select Go to My Account home and get started.

In-Depth Walkthrough

Step 1: Open Padlet

Step 2: Log In

Choose Continue with Cardinal Apps. If you already have an existing UIW Padlet account, you will be directed to your homepage. If you don't have a UIW Padlet account, one will be automatically created for you.

Step 3: Import Existing Padlets

Most of this step is optional and may not be relevant. Padlet accounts at UIW are technically different from personal Padlet accounts. The import option allows you to log in with a standard Padlet account and transfer/import existing Padlets to your UIW account. To continue:

Select Start.
(Optional) If you already have a Padlet account, select Sign in to padlet.com and follow the instructions to import your padlets. You can import these padlets at any time from your account menu after logging in, so you can skip this step if you prefer.
Select Skip to continue.
