Privacy is a key selling point these days for Apple products. Schools get to “create, own and control” the accounts used by students, says the company, and they get to determine when student progress information is shared.Īpple cannot see the student activity, either, as it stays within the system. And they can also see how well the whole classroom is doing from their own dashboard, too.Īpple additionally emphasized the privacy elements to Schoolwork when it was first announced, and it reiterates them today. With this ability to assign in-app tasks, teachers can see how well the student is doing with the given assignment, not just their usage of the app overall. Select educational apps already work with Schoolwork, including Explain Everything, Tynker, GeoGebra, and Kahoot!. This lets schools tap into the power of Apple’s App Store ecosystem, which has benefitted from being a more curated, trusted experience, where many kids’ app publishers launch their new and updated apps first and/or keep larger catalogs.

Apple this morning launched Schoolwork, a free app for teachers that was first introduced at Apple’s education event in Chicago back in March.
