Breakout Links in Padlet
Padlet breakout links are similar to Microsoft Teams breakout rooms, where you can divide participants into sections or groups.
Breakout links are a great for staying organised using Padlet. You may want to consider using breakout links if you plan to engage with groups multiple times, or if you plan to use Padlets regularly in your lessons.
Creating Breakout Links in Padlet.
- Select one of the 'section-compatible' formats: Wall, a Timeline, Grid.
- Then turn sections to On.
If you have already created a Padlet, you can make this selection by visiting settings and selecting Layouts and ensure the Group Posts by Section is toggled on.
Once you have a Padlet with sections select share:
In the section titled Links, select Breakout Links:
Toggle Enable Breakout Links to on.
You will then have a list of links for each section you created in your Padlet.
When you send breakout links to recipients, they are confined to contribute and view posts to only the section they were sent.
The creator, administrators, moderators or those who have been given the link to the full Padlet, will be able to view contributions in full in the context of multiple sections.
If you disable breakout links at a later date, this will permanently break any existing breakout links, and re-enabling breakout links will generate new links, rather than use old ones.
