Do Breakouts With Padlet
Breakout links in Padlet
If your padlet has sections, you can send users a breakout link that provides access to only one section.
Send users into breakout rooms to complete small group work apart from the rest of the padlet.
Granite has premium Padlet licenses for staff. Some staff user groups will find the Padlet link in their Granite Bookmarks. You can also access it by visiting: graniteschools.padlet.org
Breakout links are a unique way to share your padlet. Using these specialized links you can send out specific sections without revealing the entire padlet to others! Group projects have never been easier! All members of a group work together without ideas from other groups swaying their thoughts. Of course, there are many different use cases for this but you get the idea.
Using breakout links
Follow these steps to use breakout links with no problem:
Open your padlet
Click the Share arrow in the top-right corner of the padlet
Go to the Links section and click Breakout links
After clicking Breakout links you will need to enable this feature if you haven't yet. To enable, toggle the switch to the ON position.
Toggling this feature ON reveals a panel where you can copy the link to the desired section and share it separate from the entire padlet.
Breakout links are a function of Sections. A format with sections will be needed for Breakout links to be enabled.
Disabling breakout links
You've enabled breakout links but no longer want to use them. How do you turn them off?
We recommend changing the 'Visitor Permissions' settings from your Share menu. Depending on the setting you choose, it will restrict the ability to add posts through your Breakout links.
If you'd still like some users to post on the padlet with your links, you can add those people as collaborators by following the steps in this article: Add collaborators to your padlet.
