Apple Classroom has several built-in features to manage student iPads individually or as a class. These features can be used to help grab everyone's attention, eliminate distractions, and to redirect.

Viewing a Student's Screen

While you are in the Apple Classroom app, tap the four dot grid in the top right corner. You will then see thumbnails of each student's screen. To view their screen larger, tap the individual student and select View Screen.

The student will then just adjust their volume using the controls on the iPad when they are ready to unmute their device.

Locking a Student's iPad

While you are in the Apple Classroom app, tap the [...] and select Lock.
The screen will be locked on all student devices, and students will not be able to access them until the devices are unlocked again by the teacher.
