 This week's tech tip demonstrates how to set up a Canvas assignment so that students will be able to submit both an embedded version of their Padlet, as well as a PDF version of their Padlet. By submitting the PDF version of their Padlet alongside the embedded one, you'll be able to check that the Padlet has not changed since the due date of your assignment.  Students will need guidance on how to embed their Padlet into a Canvas assignment, and how to export their Padlet as a PDF. To help with this, we've created a Student Tech Tip video that you can embed in your assignment instructions, which demonstrates how to embed a Padlet into an assignment, and how to export their Padlet as a PDF: You can grab the embed code for this video in Planet eStream .
