Padlet and Google for Education App Hub

Updated 1 week ago by Julia Carnes

Padlet is proud to be part of the Google for Education App Hub.

With this integration, you can provide Padlet to a specific group of users from the Google for Education Admin console. You can also allow students to log into Padlet using their Google EDU account.

If your school or organization is using Google for Education, you can find out more about Google for Education App Hub here.

If you are interested in provisioning Padlet licenses through the Google for Education App Hub, please contact us at [email protected] or request a demo here.

Padlet for Schools plans have a free trial and are priced per active teacher account. We offer annual school-wide licenses. You can learn more about billing details by requesting a quote here.

We hope this new integration saves admins some time and stress!

Activating Google for Education App license

The following steps are only applicable for school administrators to enable licenses for Padlet, for use with Google's app licensing system. You can only follow these steps if:

  • You are an administrator of a Google EDU domain.
  • You are an administrator of a Padlet for Schools tenant.
You must be logged into an account (with the same email) that is an Admin in both Google and Padlet for Schools when performing the setup.

We suggest that you add your Google Admin email as an Admin within your Padlet for Schools account to keep things simple.

  • Set up Google login and enable Google App Licensing.
  • Enable Google App Licensing to get an order ID.
  • Copy the order ID. This will be used to enable your app licenses.
