Managing Student Devices
I know there has been a lot of interest in the additional capabilities and features of Manager. That being said, we have asked for training on these and been told there will be none. Luckily, we have teachers that explore on their own and are willing to share!
Manager
In addition to housing all district-purchased software and apps, Manager has the ability to show you student devices. While this is not fool-proof, play around with it and see what you think. I will tell you that if a student's screen is not visible to you or if you have an incorrect roster, there's really no way to fix that at this point...or so they say. ;)
Check out this presentation from Nick Adams at SMN on some of the features of Mosyle Manager.
Apple Classroom
Classroom is now available for download in Manager. It has much of the same capabilities as Manager, but some are saying it's faster and more accurate. Not having any classes assigned to me, it's hard for me to tell if this is true.
Classroom originally started as strictly an app for iPads, however they have now made it available for Macbooks.
Check out this how-to guide from Apple. Bear in mind that these directions are specific to the iPad, so some of the settings and locations of menus may differ.
I wish I had more in-depth knowledge on these two apps and could provide more detailed training, but for now, play around and see what you think. Just make sure you know how to end any classes you start and be prepared for lots of guffaws from the children.
