Teachers will be able to guide students through a lesson with a new Classroom app, admins will get access to a new Apple School Manager portal, and Managed Apple IDs will be introduced. But the biggest change is Shared iPad, which will essentially bring multi-user capabilities to the iPad.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Woah. Tons of improvements to both teaching and admin sides of rolling with\u00a0iPads in a classroom.\u00a0Shared iPads\u00a0and the Classroom app in particular will be huge in schools.<\/p>\n<p>Arguably the biggest feature for me: teachers can\u00a0launch an\u00a0app on\u00a0every iPad in a classroom and then lock it in place. This makes assessment on an iPad about a million times more viable.
