Sketchpad for Google Classroom
Teachers create Sketchpad assignments from their courses. Students open a guided Sketchpad handoff and return a drawing through Classroom.
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 open the assignment material in Google Classroom. Its signed link opens Sketchpad with the teacher's prompt and allowed tools.
- 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 courseWork 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.
