2. Depending on your assignment, you will either get a board all to yourself or collaborate with your classmates on the same board.
Collaborating on the same Padlet board
1. Content may be posted by dragging files onto your Padlet board, double-clicking anywhere on the screen, or pressing the red plus button at the bottom of your screen.
2. Click ‘Publish’ to add your content to the board.
Working on your own Padlet board
