Announcing the Amazing APPLE CLASSROOM App

 

If you are a teacher with a MacBook, a teacher iPad and student iPads, you need to know about the amazing Apple Classroom app!

Apple Classroom is a Teacher App that assists you with guiding students during learning, sharing exemplary student work and managing a classroom of student devices. Apple Classroom can be used on BOTH the teacher iPad and the MacBook. Download Apple Classroom through Keller ISD's Self-Service App on either device. Note: Students do NOT need the Apple Classroom app.

🟠As a teacher, you will be able to:

• 🚀LAUNCH a specific app, website or book page to all students, a group of students or an individual student;
• 🤝SHARE documents between teacher and student;
• 📺SHARE student work using Apple TV;
• 👀VIEW what apps students are working in;
• 🔇MUTE student devices; and
• 📊Receive a SUMMARY of student activities at the end of a class.
  
  

🟠Setting up Apple Classroom is easy. In Keller ISD, your Apple Classroom classes will roster automatically. 

If you don't see rostered classes like the ones above, check the following:

• Are you and the students logged into the devices with your Keller ISD credentials?
• Is bluetooth turned on for all devices?
• Are the teacher and student devices on the same wi-fi?
• Do the teacher and student devices have the same iOS update?
  Note if you are not in Keller ISD, you can create your own classes in Apple Classroom and connect student iPads. See more information and help here.
  
  

🟠Now that you are set up, let's use Apple Classroom. Don't worry, we have plenty of resources for you!
