DeskDrop is the simplest way to give homework and get it back. Give an assignment with a due date and files. Students take a photo of their work or upload a PDF and hand it in from their phone. You see at a glance who handed in, who is late and who hasn't done it, then review each submission as Solved, Incomplete or Not solved and leave a note the student sees. FOR TEACHERS • Give assignments with a description, a due date and up to 5 photos or PDFs • See who handed in, who is late and who missed it • Review submissions and leave feedback • Give the same assignment to another class in one tap • Send announcements and documents, such as answer keys, to several classes at once • Student analysis: hand-in rate, on time, late and missed for every student • A calendar of due dates • Add students with a 6-character invite code, no email address needed FOR STUDENTS • Join your class with the code your teacher gives you • Hand in your work with the camera, from your photos or as a PDF • See what's due, what's been reviewed and your teacher's notes • Get notified about new assignments, reviews and announcements PRIVACY FIRST Student accounts hold only what homework needs: no email address, no phone number, no location.
