FOR SCHOOLS
The simple digital notebook for schools
Every pupil gets their own digital exercise book to write and draw in, on the tablets and computers your school already has. It saves itself as they go, so you can look through any pupil's work from anywhere.
Why schools choose UDoodle
Handwriting still matters
Writing by hand builds pen control and letter formation, and helps ideas stick. With UDoodle, that practice carries on when the class has tablets.
Simple enough for the youngest
In class, pupils tap their name and start writing. There are no usernames or email addresses, and only four buttons: pen, eraser, typing and undo.
Nothing gets lost, and less paper
Every line is kept the moment it's written, even if the Wi-Fi drops, and pupils can't delete a page. The same notebook opens at home for homework.
SETTING UP
Up and running in minutes
You set it up once from your own account. Your pupils don't set anything up at all.
Add your class
Paste in first names straight from your register. A class of thirty takes about five minutes.
Print sign-in cards
Each card shows the pupil's picture, name, 4-digit code, your class's web address and a QR code. Eight fit on a sheet of A4.
Set up class tablets once
Use the 6-digit setup code from the How pupils sign in tab on your class page, or tap "Set up this tablet" and let it in. From then on it opens straight to your class.
Pupils tap their name
In class they tap their name. At home they scan the QR code on their sign-in card, and carry on in the same notebook.
Every pupil's sign-in card. If one goes missing, choose the pupil on your class page and make a new card: the old one stops working straight away.
Every pupil gets a shelf of notebooks. So do you.
A notebook for each subject, as many as they need, each with a cover they label in their own handwriting. You get your own notebooks too, for planning, notes and ideas, private to you.
See every pupil's work, from anywhere
There's nothing to photograph or upload, and no pile of books to take home.
Class tablets in school, any device at home
IN SCHOOL
Set up once, then just tap a name
Shared tablets and laptops are set up once, and from then on open straight to your class. One device can be set up for several classes, so a single trolley of iPads can serve the whole school: pupils tap their class, then their name.
AT HOME
Scan the QR code on the sign-in card
Pupils' own devices don't need setting up. They scan the QR code on their card, and a device at home can remember them. Or they open your class's web address and type their name and their 4-digit code.
Why the difference? A set-up tablet shows everyone in the class, which is ideal for a trolley of school iPads but not for a device that goes home.
A shared whiteboard for the whole class
Put a shared whiteboard on the classroom screen and teach from it. When you want a pupil to have a go, pass them the digital pen: they write on their own tablet, and the whole class watches it appear.
Only one pupil holds the pen at a time, so nobody can scribble over the lesson, and you can always draw yourself.

Questions schools ask
Do pupils need an email address?
No. You add each pupil by first name. In school they tap their name on a class tablet (you can ask for their 4-digit code too), and they never receive email from us.
Which devices does it work on?
Any tablet or computer with an up-to-date web browser: iPads, Android tablets, Chromebooks, laptops and desktops, plus the classroom display for shared whiteboards. It's best with a stylus, and works with a finger or a mouse.
Can several classes share the same tablets?
Yes. One tablet can be set up for several classes, even from different teachers. Pupils tap their class, then their name.
Does it work for homework and remote learning?
Yes. At home pupils scan the QR code on their sign-in card, or open your class's web address and type their name and code, and their own notebooks open.
What happens if the Wi-Fi drops?
Pupils keep writing. Their work is kept on the tablet and sent once the connection is back.
Does it work in other languages?
Yes: English, French, Spanish and German. Teachers choose theirs, a class tablet can be switched at the foot of its sign-in page, and parent invitations can be sent in any of the four.
