Share documents
Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to bring up the new Dock. Tap and hold the files app to see recent documents. Then Drag and Drop a file to a single student, a group, or all students.
Or open any app side-by-side with Classroom to drag and drop files or URLs to students.
Instruct your students to accept the document you are sharing.
Students can then select the appropriate app to open and save your shared document.
The document will be saved on each student’s iPad.
Navigate to specific content
Classroom lets you navigate students to resources inside of iBooks and Safari, such as a specific web page using a bookmark, or a chapter in a book.
See what your students see with Screen View
View any student’s screen directly on your device. Check in and see how students are progressing through an assignment or quiz.
Share student work on the big screen
If your classroom has Apple TV, you can mirror any student’s screen to your TV monitor or projector. It’s a great way to highlight student work, encourage collaboration, and keep everyone involved.
Lock the screen
To get everyone’s attention, you can also lock each iPad in your class, which might be helpful during an important announcement or activity.
Log out of devices
When class ends, you can log out students—a single student, a group of students, or your entire class. When students are logged out, any documents they were working on are synced to the cloud and are available the next time they log in.
With devices in the hands of students, it’s important to set teachers up with the right tools to create great learning experiences. The new Classroom app and Apple TV help your teachers independently transform their classrooms into dynamic and interactive learning environments.
Organize your class
Classroom lets you create custom groups within your class, so you can tailor guidance for a single student, a group of students, or the entire class. You can break the class into groups based on project assignment, and guide each group’s experience differently.
