Padlet Backpack for School

Easy and intuitive

Even if you’ve never used any kind of productivity software before, Padlet is familiar and fun.

• Simple link sharing allows for quick collaboration

Private and secure

Publish your best work, and protect your innermost thoughts.

• Choose from five options: Public, Secret, Password Protected, Totally Private, and Organization-Wide
• From each option, choose who can view, write on, or moderate your padlets

1. Member accounts

Backpack is an exclusive workspace for schools. Members are added to ensure private access. Student accounts can be also added without an email address.

2. More privacy

Padlets by default are not public so you can't find them on search engines. They are also visible to others with accounts under your Backpack school. They can see it right in their list of padlets.

Teachers additonally have found it much easier to share padlets with their students this way, the teachers no longer have to enter the username/email address of every student whom they would like to post on their padlet.

3. More accountability

Many teachers have found that restless students can often post abusive/unsavory content on padlets.

Since by default only account-holders can post on padlets created using a Backpack account, you will never have to worry about being unable to track down students who have abused their rights on a padlet. Students also tend to be more focused on the task at hand as a result. 

4. LMS (Google/Microsoft)

It's now easier for teachers to share padlets without leaving their LMS because of the integration.

5.   Bigger file uploads

Want to post a 100MB video? A 100MB photoshop file? Upload files up to 500MB in size. That's 25 times more than what you get on padlet.com
