How to manage student work?

[Cheryl Colpoys]

We have started using the iPads 1:1 in our 4th grade.  One things we are looking for is a good way to have students store work in the cloud as well as hand work in to teachers (and for teachers to send things back after they have made comments and graded it).  I am looking at box, dropbox and ebackpack.  Is anyone using any of these or is there another option that you are finding success with?

Hi Cheryl,

We are using Dropbox in both 3rd and 5th grade with great success. We determined that if the teacher sets up their own personal Dropbox account (using a personal or work email) and then a separate Dropbox account using a different email account (we created one just for our class), the Student Dropbox can share the folders with the Teacher's Dropbox thus allowing the teacher the ability to provide files to the students and to review their work without the students having access to more than necessary.  We are using Dropbox in connection with Notability and Formconnect.

Hope that helps!
