Classroom Overview
What is Classroom? Classroom is an app that turns a Mac into a teaching assistant, allowing teachers to guide students through a lesson, monitor their progress, and keep them on track. It enables teachers to launch the same app on every student iPad or Mac simultaneously or launch different apps for each group of students. Classroom allows teachers to assign shared iPads to students, start, focus, or pause student work, see what students see with Screen View, share documents and links with the class using AirDrop, share student work on the classroom Apple TV, reset forgotten passwords, and organize students using groups. It is suitable for use with both 1:1 and Shared iPad student devices and supports IT-managed classes or teacher-created classes. The app requires a Mac with macOS 11.3 or later for the teacher and an iPad with iOS 14.4 or later for the students, with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi enabled on both devices. All actions take place over the local network only.
1. Classroom turns your Windows into a powerful teaching assistant, helping you guide students through a lesson, see their progress, and keep them on track.
2. With Classroom, you can easily launch the same app on every student iPad or Windows at the same time or launch a different app for each group of students.
3. Classroom helps teachers focus on teaching so students can focus on learning.

Sync Needed
Microsoft really needs to make Classroom sync so that teachers can use it on their iPads and computers. It is incredibly inconvenient to have to make students join twice if you want to use it on both devices. It would also be great if teachers could block specific websites.
Excited, but needs more
I was excited about the release of this app. When I first signed in, I was disappointed to see that all of my classes from my iPad didn't appear on my Windows. I am a librarian and I don't want to set up thirty classes again. There also needs to be a way to manage MacBooks.
Doesn't work
This app doesn't work. I've been trying to make it work for an hour now. It is suppose to automatically find the student so you can add to the class and it should pop up in system preferences and whelp that didn't happen. It doens't pick up other macBooks so I am unable to add them to the class. It is a real bummer.
iPhone compatibility
This needs to be able to be compatible with iPhones! It's much easier to walk around my room with my phone in my hand rather than my iPad. And...when I have a substitute in the room I can still monitor what they're doing from my phone.
UNACCEPTABLE invasion of student privacy!
with a mobileconfig installed on the student's device with certain options set by the mdm this can become easially abused. there is an option to allow teachers to do anything without prompting and no way to leave the class in the mdm. combined with a unremovable profile and wifi power forced on will give the teachers the power to lock student's devices and view the student's screens without consent and no way to stop it. this is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE from a company that claims to care about privacy. not to mention INSANELY hypocrytical. come on, Microsoft! do better!
