Digital tools and resources can afford the education sector a wealth of benefits in and out of the classroom – for staff, students and parents.

As such, the impact of digital tools in the modern classroom can be seen across all key stages: from helping children in reception learn how to take care of their dental health to helping those in their secondary years to boost their skills and interest in reading and boosting their test scores.

With so many benefits come countless digital tools, making it a challenge to know where to start—let alone how to navigate them. Read on to find out more about Apple Classroom and how it can be used as a powerful tool for managing lessons, keeping students focused and in check – and importantly, to enhance student engagement and attainment.

Apple Classroom provides teachers with real-time control over student devices, allowing them to guide learning, monitor progress, and ensure students stay on task.

Some may think that integrating digital tools and having this level of control is arduous and complex, but that’s where Skolon comes in.

As a plug-and-play solution, Skolon simplifies the adoption and use of Apple School Manager, ensuring a seamless and efficient experience for schools looking to enhance their digital learning environment.

Why do schools need Apple Classroom?

Apple Classroom is a powerful tool designed to support teachers in managing digital learning with ease. Bursting with intuitive features, it helps create a more structured, engaging, and distraction-free learning environment.

  • Streamlined lesson management – Teachers can guide student learning, lock devices when needed to avoid distraction, and push resources directly to students, keeping lessons on track.
  • Real-time monitoring – Provides visibility into student screens, allowing teachers to ensure focus, offer support, and address challenges as they arise… They can even tell how much battery devices have, nipping any ‘my iPad died’ excuses in the bud.
  • Seamless collaboration – Designed to work ergonomically with Apple devices, Apple Classroom enhances interactive learning, making it easier for students to engage with their lessons.

By using Apple Classroom, schools can unlock the full potential of digital learning with a simple, efficient, and secure setup.

How Skolon makes Apple Classroom plug and play

In such a digital age, integrating digital tools shouldn’t be a challenge. To use Apple Classroom seamlessly, schools must create Managed Apple IDs with structured classes and groups—something that often requires time-consuming manual work.

With Skolon, we provide a streamlined, plug-and-play integration with Apple School Manager (ASM), automatically generating Managed Apple IDs and class structures based on the data in the MIS. This ensures a hassle-free setup for schools and trusts, making Apple’s ecosystem effortless for teachers and students.

Skolon’s integration with Apple School Manager automates:

  • Provisioning of Managed Apple IDs
  • Creation and synchronisation of class and group structures based on selections in the Skolon Data Hub

Without Skolon’s integration, schools face two challenges:

Managing Apple School Manager manually by constantly uploading CSV files to update user accounts and class structures or relying on external consultants to build a custom integration for automated uploads—both of which demand significant time and resources.

Not only is manually uploading csv-files time-consuming, it’s also prone to errors. By automating this process with Skolon, your IT teams save a significant amount of time and effort, ensuring accuracy, and reducing the risk of data inconsistencies.

The benefits for schools and IT teams

Skolon not only simplifies access to Apple Classroom but also brings significant benefits for schools and IT teams such as:

  • Time-saving – No need for manual user management—Skolon automates access, reducing administrative workload.
  • Improved adoption – Teachers can start using Apple Classroom immediately, without technical barriers slowing them down.
  • Enhanced security – Skolon ensures secure access control and GDPR compliance, giving schools peace of mind.

Think different 

Apple Classroom is a powerful tool for managing digital learning, and with Skolon, integrating it has never been easier. By simplifying access, automating synchronisation, and ensuring security, Skolon helps schools get the most out of their digital tools with minimal effort.
