Some apps may attach a file to an email while others may share a link. Approach #2 – EmailĪll apps have one trait in common: the ability to share by email. Second, it does skirt some of the Terms of Service with regard to students under 13 using the app.
First, if all students use the same account, it is possible for them to accidentally delete another students’ work. With whichever cloud you choose, in order for students to share work, the app needs to be installed and logged into an account. Though this provides a relatively easy solution, two issues still exist. In Evernote, images – but not video – from the Camera Roll can even be added to notes. It is also possible to upload images and video to Google Drive from the Drive app. This could be a simple way for students to easily share their work with you or the class. Whether a student takes a screen capture of their work, saving it to the camera roll, or exports a photo or video from another app such as Skitch, Animoto, or PageSend, once in the camera roll more options exist.ĭropbox has an option to automatically upload content stored in the camera roll to an account. In that case, do not underestimate the value of first saving to the Camera Roll. Some apps may not share directly to a cloud storage option. Cloud Storage + Camera Roll = more options For example, a student creates a screencast with Explain Everything and then sends their project to Dropbox for either their peers or the teacher to see. For students to share work back with their teachers, they could send it to a shared folder within that cloud service. More and more apps recognize that workflow is a challenge and have added Drive, Dropbox, Box, or Evernote as options to their action menu (the arrow coming out of the box). Much like getting work to students via Cloud Storage, it is also possible to get work OFF iPad as well.
It is critical to create a plan for getting work OFF of iPads before beginning a project as it may impact the tool(s) and app(s) that you choose. However the next challenge is to get the work that students create back OFF of iPad. In my first post, I outlined three potential approaches for distributing content to students without using email or logins. The lack of email, coupled with the Terms of Service that preclude those under the age of 13 from having a cloud storage account, further complicate the problem. Unlike a computer, iPad does not function as well in a shared environment because of the challenges of workflow – getting content on and off of the devices.
