What is Apple Classroom?
Classroom is a powerful app that helps you guide learning and manage student devices. From your kumu iPad, you can launch a specific app or website on any iPad in the class, share student work on a TV, monitor, or projector using Apple TV, see which apps students are working in, and mute student devices. And when class ends, you can see a summary of your students’ activities.
