Apple Announces Classroom For Mac
Apple Announces Classroom For Mac 2017
At the same time, the company revealed a new “cloud-based” app called Schoolwork that lets teachers assign handouts and track progress of their students. Educators will be able to make handouts that include PDFs, links, and other documents, as well as check in on the progress of every student for a specific assignment. Apps will be able to integrate with Schoolwork using Apple’s ClassKit API, and Schoolwork will be available for teachers in June. There will also be a new “Apple Teacher” professional learning program available online, aimed at helping teachers build skills, chart their progress, and get inspired to launch new lesson plans.
The program will allow teachers to earn badges shaped like gold stars, encouraging them to continue using the program and evolve their classroom.
