Other Programs to Distribute and Collect Student Work

Padlet

Padlet is a versatile digital bulletin board that makes it simple to gather student work and share resources. Teachers can create a Padlet wall and students can easily post their assignments, ideas, links, images, videos, and more, all in one place. It's also a great way for teachers to share materials, provide feedback, and foster collaboration by allowing students to see and comment on each other's work. Padlet streamlines the process of collecting and distributing information in a visually engaging and interactive way.

Apple Classroom

Apple Classroom simplifies sharing and collecting student work digitally. Teachers can easily send files to students' iPads and receive completed assignments back within the app. This organized system streamlines the distribution of materials and the management of student submissions.
