Apple Classroom: Getting Started

Learning Activity

Classroom is an app for teachers, available for supported iPad devices and Mac computers, to hold classes in a schoolroom.

When teaching in class, you can launch a specific app, website, or textbook page. You can also send documents to and receive them from your students, and share student work locally on a TV, monitor, or projector using Apple TV. Finally, you can see which apps students are working in and, at the end of the class, view a summary of how students spent their time.
