Click on the course you wish to add your padlet in and toggle 'Edit mode' ON (in the top-right corner).

Your padlet will show up as a link. Click on Add an activity or resource.

  1. Add Padlet

Search for Padlet and click on the tool.

  1. Log into Padlet

Additional sharing options

If you want students to work on their own copy of the padlet, click on the Settings cog icon (⚙) when adding a padlet. Turn the 'Create a copy for each user' option ON. Students will get their own copy when they click on the link in the assignment and you will be automatically added as a shared member to the padlet.

Note that turning ON the copy option will prevent you from seeing all student posts in a single padlet.
