Classroom

Classroom App Overview

• "Classroom is a powerful app for iPad and Mac that helps you guide learning, share work, and manage student devices. It supports both shared and one-to-one environments. 

• You can launch a specific app, website, or textbook page on any iPad in the class, share documents between teacher and students, or share student work on a TV, monitor, or projector using Apple TV. 

• You can even see which apps students are working in, mute student devices, assign a specific shared iPad for each student, and reset a student’s password. And when class ends, you can see a summary of your students’ activities."
