Helpful tips
- As a teacher, you will need to do this 1 time only on each cart you plan to use the Classroom app on.
- You will want to assign 1 iPad to each student and have them use that iPad each time you plan to use Classroom so that the students name always represents the student using that iPad.
- DN-iPad-1-01 is always used by Antoine K.
- DN-iPad-1-02 is always used by Molly A.
- DN-iPad-1-03 is always used by Shawna P.
- And so on…
- Multiple teachers can setup classes on each cart then toggle between classes according to which teacher has the cart. Each class will have a different code for the students to sign up within in Settings.
- The teachers should designate one iPad from the cart to represent the teacher device. A library spare or iPad #30 would be a good option for this as most classes do not check out all 30 iPads.
