Apple Classroom is the app used to manage student devices when they're working with you during a live class session.

***It is important to note that Apple Classroom is NOT a learning management system. It will not store your assignments. Instead, it seamlessly sends them to your students with AirDrop, and allows students to send finished work right back to your Apple Classroom dropbox for quick reviews. If you want to save any of that student work for later review, be sure to save it out of the Apple Classroom Inbox. 

This is a very valuable resource when it comes to efficiency as a teacher. The time spent learning any one of these tips will help you grow your skill set, and free up more of that precious teacher prep time in the future.
