We are very excited to announce improvements to GT’s Padlet account access URL. It is moving from gatech.padlet.org to padlet.com/gatech on September 17, 2025.
Please note that once the migration to the “.com” domain happens, the old URL will be redirected to the new URL, and the integration with Canvas will not be impacted.
🛠️ What’s changing
- Users can sign up or log in with SAML by going to padlet.com/gatech.
- Improved safety permissions to restrict access for students to only use and share Padlets within the Gatech account. Read more here.
📝 What you need to do
- Bookmark your new school URL: padlet.com/gatech.

To help your team get up to speed, we’ve created three quick-start guides:
- From Backpack to Padlet for Schools: Explains the migration taking place.
- Teacher Quick Guide: Walks teachers through where to find their padlets, how to share them, and what’s new.
