This ability to see what students are doing on their devices is priceless. I can focus on the group of students I am working with but also know what the students across the room are doing with a quick glance in the Apple Classroom app. This feature helps hold students accountable for the work they are doing on their devices. This also allows the teacher to pinpoint which students may need more assistance for on the spot intervention. 2. Lock Screen When I need to transition I give my students a 10 second countdown and then I lock their screen. The countdown gives the students a chance to mentally prepare for the lock and the the lock itself is the extra step that ensures that students are hearing the next set of directions they are about to receive. Don't forget to unlock! 3. Open & Lock There may be times when you need your class to stay in one specific app for an extended period of time. Using the open and lock toggle will ensure your students stay in that app as it removes the temptation to leave the current app and navigate to the web and/or a game as it locks them into the app you choose. (You're welcome;) 4. Groups Groups are easy to make and great for differentiation. When you leave the Classroom App and navigate to Safari, you can share the URL link with your entire class OR with the different groups you've created within the App. This allows you to easily share different links, images, files to specific students in a specific group. 5. Split Screen File Sharing Utilizing split screen with Apple Classroom gives you the ability to drop files to the entire class, your groups or individual students. Have a student who is distracted? Send a funny gif to that individual to get him back on track. It may sound silly but I've seen it work numerous times! What are your favorite Apple Classroom tools ?

Open the Classroom App and then pull up from the bottom of your iOS device to bring up the dock. Select the app you want to split screen by holding and dragging it to the screen. Here's more info if you nee more assistance! https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207582
