Things go in all directions, away from the speaker; things come from all directions, towards the speaker. The children ran in all directions = They ran away from you, all going to different places. The children ran from all directions = They ran towards you, all coming from different places.

But our teacher told me that sometimes their meanings are the same.Is it right?

In all directions = something is going out from one spot. Think of the sun sending light in all directions. From all directions = there is stuff coming to one spot from everywhere. Think of a balloon going under water. It is being compressed from all directions.
