We have purchased a site license for Padlet Pro accounts for both teachers and students. The education pro version is called Padlet Backpack. We have created a Padlet teacher account for you. Not everyone will choose to use Padlet, but it is available for you.
Here is some information to get you started before we roll out training.
You need to sign-in to our Pinewood specific URL. Sign in with the Google button.

What if I already have a Padlet account?
If you already made Padlets in a basic account, you can transfer them to the Pro/Backpack account. Here is a link to a video from Padlet.

Our Padlet account is configured so that students can create an account themselves. They can create their own Padlet account by going to our Pinewood School Padlet URL. Tell them to sign in with Google.
