Sketchpad
Sketchpad for Google Classroom
Teachers create Sketchpad assignments straight from their courses. Students draw and submit without leaving the app.
How it works
- Teachers open Sketchpad and click the Google Classroom toolbar button. Pick a course, fill in the assignment, and (optionally) attach the open drawing as instruction material. Sketchpad creates the coursework in your Classroom course.
- Students click the new assignment in Google Classroom. Sketchpad loads with the assignment ready to go.
- When a student presses Submit, Sketchpad exports the drawing as a JPEG, uploads it to the student's own Drive, attaches it to their Classroom submission, and turns it in. The student lands back in Classroom.
What this service stores
This service stores only the mapping between a Sketchpad assignment id and the Google
Classroom courseId / courseWorkId it points to, plus the Sketchpad account id of
the teacher who created it. No Drive content, course content, roster data, or submission content is stored
here.
Drawings uploaded as student submissions or teacher instruction materials live in the uploader's own Google Drive — Sketchpad does not keep a copy.
For teachers
