Use actions to guide learning in Classroom

Using the Classroom app on your device, you can perform actions on each student’s device to focus their attention and guide their learning.

You can perform actions on many devices at once. This can be for the entire class or a specific group.

Actions on a single student’s device

You can perform actions on a single student’s device. For example, you might want to view the screen of a single student.

You can do the following on any number of student devices at once:

• Open an app.

• Open a web page, EPUB book or chapter, or PDF.

• Share links and documents and allow students to share links and documents with you.

• View a device’s screen.

• Mute a device (nearby classes only).

• Lock a device and lock an app open on a device (nearby classes only).
