7️⃣ Case 7: A Copy for Every Student in a Class
  • You want every student in a class to work with their own version of your map, for example for a weekly plan, a portfolio, or individual work. Then you do not share the map itself, you distribute copies.
  •  
  • Here's how:
    1. Open your map and click the three menu dots at the top right.
    2. Choose "Copy" and then click the tab "Distribute to group" in the dialog.
    3. Choose the class or group.
    4. Confirm. Every student in the group receives their own copy of the map in their account and a notification.
  •  
  • Good to know:
    • Each copy belongs to the respective student. One student's changes are not visible to the others.
    • Your original map stays unchanged. You can distribute it again later, for example to another class.
    • Students find their copy under My Maps.
    • A folder containing all distributed maps is created automatically. You are the owner of this folder and can review the results at any time.
  • Difference from "Share with group": there, all students work together on one map. With "Distribute to group", everyone works alone on their own copy.
