 | Apple Classroom
... is a great classroom engagement tool that benefits our students and teachers
... keeps learning moving forward with quick collaboration between teacher and students.
... is not really intended to be a classroom management tool.
... should be used to support building relationships in lesson delivery. |
In a quick at-a-glance moment, teachers can quickly share/open/group with classroom resources. Teachers can quickly check on student work and provide opportunities to share out learning.
Apple Classroom ONLY needs to be installed on the teacher iPad or laptop, NOT on the students devices.
For now, it is NOT tied in to Infinite Campus classes, so teachers will need to manually build them.
This is NOT Apple's version of Google Classroom. They serve different functions.

11/23/2020 UPDATE: Everything you see below will not work with our latest update.
When students and staff are signed in to their School Apple ID, rosters will be managed through Apple School Manager. Click here to learn more.

| This is what the teacher iPad screen looks like when Apple Classroom is first opened: The first time it is opened you will need to enter your name.  | Teachers can create lots of classes. Customize each of them for you and your students' benefit with an appropriate name and icon. |
Now the fun part... Tap to add your students. The student iPads will need to be turned on and within Bluetooth range - basically, that means need to all be in the same room.  | As students 'enroll' in your class, they will pop up on your screen. Again, they will need to be within Bluetooth range of your teacher iPad. |
_____________________________________________________________
Everything from here on is from the Student iPad:
 | These are screenshots from a 'student' iPad. When it is time to add students, have them open the Settings. The 'Classroom' icon should pop up on the left side of the screen. Bluetooth must be turned on for Apple Classroom to work. |
 | To enroll, the student will open the Settings app and tap on Classroom on the left side of the screen. |
 | The student will tap on the class they have been 'invited' to. |
 | A Big Note: Students may be able to opt out of having you be able to view their screen. They can also disconnect from your class by turning off Bluetooth. A Big Teacher Suggestion: You may want to consider enrolling your students and later going back to change these settings without them around. |
 | When you want to 'share' or 'view' a student's screen, they will get this pop-up. If 'Always Allow' is selected, then they will not get this again. |
 | ...and for full disclosure, students may also remove themselves from your class at any time. You may not want to share that with them :) |
