View and lock a student’s screen with Classroom
You can control how and when students can use their iPad—including sharing files or viewing their screen—to make sure they stay on task. When you view a student’s screen, the status bar on their iPad turns blue.
Note: Depending on how your mobile device management (MDM) solution is configured, you may not be able to perform this task. Contact your MDM administrator and have them review Manage AirPlay and screen view settings in MDM.
