SchoolCam for Individuals vs School-Wide Deployment

If you’re reading this inside the SchoolCam app, you may have noticed that you’re currently not assigned to a school or team. That simply means you’re using SchoolCam as an individual teacher, which is a great place to start.

But there’s an important difference between individual use and school-wide deployment. And understanding that difference can help you unlock the full potential of SchoolCam.

👩‍🏫 SchoolCam for Individual Teachers

If you downloaded SchoolCam directly from the App Store or Google Play and subscribed yourself, you’re using it independently.

This allows you to:

• Capture school photos without mixing them with your personal library

• Keep classroom photos organized

• Use your existing school Google Drive account

• Maintain better separation between personal and professional content

For many teachers, this is already a big improvement over using the native camera app.

However, when used individually:

• You are not part of a shared school structure

• There are no shared folders with other staff

• Leadership does not have centralized visibility

• Collaboration is limited

It works, but it’s only a fraction of what SchoolCam can do.

🏫 SchoolCam for the entire School

Most schools using SchoolCam deploy it across the entire organization.

With a school-wide setup:

• An admin creates a central school account

• All teachers are assigned to the school

• Photos automatically upload to the school’s Google Drive

• Shared folders can be created for events, trips, departments, or year groups

• Leadership and communications teams have immediate access

• No student photos remain on personal devices

• Everything stays under school control — no third-party storage

This is where SchoolCam truly shines.

Instead of individual photo collections, the school builds a structured, compliant, centralized photo system.

How to Bring SchoolCam to Your School

You can help your school benefit from:

• Centralized photo management

• Better compliance

• No photos stored on personal devices

• Direct upload to your school’s Google Drive

• Easier access for newsletters, social media, and yearbooks

We recommend sharing SchoolCam with:

• Your IT administrator

• Your school leadership team

• Your communications department

Simply tell them you’re already using SchoolCam and would love to see it rolled out school-wide.
