Make an Essential Artist Board with Padlet

Why use Padlet?

Padlet is a digital bulletin board tool that can help you:

• Keep track of everything you find 
• Organize your sources into different categories
• Make connections between sources 

Add Notes to Your Padlet Board

• Record each source you find by adding a note to your Padlet board.
• Click the plus sign in the bottom right corner of your Padlet board to create a new note.

• Start by adding a title and some text to your note (see above).
  • The text should include a citation for the source.
• You can also add media to your note, like files, links, photos, and more (see below).
  • For articles, upload a PDF to your note.
  • For websites or videos, add a link to your note.
• When you're done, click the publish button to add the note to your Padlet board.

Add Comments to Published Notes

• First, click the gear icon and enable Comments for the Padlet board in your overall Posting settings.

• Then, add comments to each of your published notes with key quotes and takeaways from the source.
  • This will keep the text on each post from being too long and taking over the board.
• To add a comment, click the comment bubble in the bottom right corner of the published post.

• Type your comment where it says add comment, and then click the pink button to publish it.
