Create from the drawing you are already in
You do not switch tools to assign work. Open a drawing in Sketchpad, click the Google Classroom button, and pick the course. Add a title and a few words of instruction, and you are done.
If the open drawing is a prompt, attach it as instruction material in the same step. It uploads to your Drive and links on the assignment.
- Pick any of your Google Classroom courses
- Attach the open drawing as a starting point
- Set points and a due date, or leave them off
Students open and draw, with nothing to learn
Students click the assignment in Google Classroom and SketchIO opens with the prompt ready. The tools are large and forgiving, and everything autosaves, so a closed tab never costs them their work.
- No new login, they come straight from Classroom
- Autosave on every stroke
- Works smoothly on school Chromebooks
The best classroom tool is the one nobody has to think about. That is the bar we hold ourselves to.
Turn in, in one calm step
When a student is happy, they press Turn in. SketchIO exports a JPEG, saves it to their own Drive, attaches it to their submission, and marks the work done. They land back in Classroom, finished.
Changed their mind? They can unsubmit and edit until the due date, so a rushed click is never the end of the story.
We store the link, not the art
SketchIO keeps only the connection between an assignment and its course. The drawings live in the uploader's own Google Drive. We never keep a copy of student work, rosters, or grades.
Try it with your class
It takes a few minutes to set up and works on the devices you already have.
