Apple's new SchoolWork app gives teachers an incredible new way to engage with students by creating Handouts and sharing content, whilst also allowing students to submit work back for assessment on completion.
SchoolWork provides teachers and students with a new way to share work, and collaborate in the classroom. Using the new tools provided, teachers can share and collaborate with entire classes, subsets of pupils, or individual students, allowing for the provision of greater support and differentiation within a class.
Handouts are easy to create, and teachers can quickly duplicate them helping to reduce workload when working with multiple classes.
SchoolWork includes the ability to:
- Create Handouts for students to complete at their own pace, or against a specific deadline
- Share content with students, including; links, bookmarks, photos, videos, or other files such PDF, Pages, Numbers, Keynote
- Allow students to submit their work for assessment
- Leverage the power of ClassKit enabled apps
- Utilise new integrations from other apps in to SchoolWork, including from Pages, Numbers, and Keynote
