Teachers have several ways to quickly share files to student iPads that can be downloaded and opened.
This can include using Air Drop, Google Drive, or iCloud. However, for younger learners this can be a difficult workflow and a barrier to learning. Below are directions to setting up a shared folder for your students using ClassLink, as another option. Please let me know as you would like to learn more.
Click here to view Student Directions. I would strongly recommend signing in as a student on your iPad to go through their workflow, once you are set up here.

The directions below are for a Teacher sharing files in a Shared Folder from their laptop.
 | Visit launchpad.classlink.com and sign in to your teacher account with your Google credentials. |
 | Click on the 3 lines in the upper left corner of your screen and select My Files. OR Click on the My Files icon at the very bottom of the screen.  |
 | Click on the Shared folder. |
 | From here, you can create a folder to share with students. All files in this folder may be opened or downloaded by students. These are not collaborative files, meaning that everyone will have their own copy. IF Your Shared Class Folder has already been created, you may skip this step. |
 | Once you are 'in' the folder, you can either drag-and-drop in files OR Select Upload Files at the top of your screen |
 | Right-click on the folder to add students or other teachers. Students will normally have Read-Only access. Teachers will normally have Full Access. See screenshot below. |

Here is an example of what My Files may look like for a teacher.
