Configuring the Apple Classroom app on an instructor's device
The Apple Classroom app allows instructors to use their iPad to guide students through a lesson and to view the student's progress in the class. With the Apple Classroom app, you can start the same app on every student device at the same time or start a different app for each group of students. The Classroom app helps instructors focus on teaching so students can focus on learning.
