Invite students to join your class
Your advertised class is ready for enrolment, and a student can browse for that class by choosing Settings > Classroom on their iPad. Students add the class by entering a four-digit PIN (personal identification number) provided by you. A student can join more than one class — by the same or different teachers — making it easy for students to move from room to room with their iPad.
Open the Classroom app on your Mac, then double-click the class you want to use, then click Add Students.
Note: It may take up to 10 seconds for the class to appear.
Tell the students to do one of the following:
On their Mac, choose System Preferences > Classroom and add click “Add Class name”.
On their iPad, choose Settings > Classroom and add tap “Add Class name”.
If your students have a Me Card, they can use or change their name and photo.
When you’re ready for students to join, display the class invitation PIN code on the Apple TV for all students to see.
After a student adds the class, that student appears in the window. A tickbox appears next to the students’ names, indicating they’re going to be part of this class.
Review the list of students and deselect the ones you don’t want in the class, then click Add.
You can add more students at any time.
After you have students in your class, you can now manage the class experience. See the following:
