How to Setup Apple Classroom with Mobile Guardian

This guide will assist you in setting up Mobile Guardian and Apple Classroom so that the classes you create on the Mobile Guardian Dashboard are reflected in the Apple Classroom app on your teachers' devices.

Before proceeding, please review the article on integrating Mobile Guardian with Apple School Manager for requirements and specific setups, such as shared iPads: Integrate Mobile Guardian with Apple School Manager (ASM).

Enrol Devices on the Dashboard

• Log in to your Mobile Guardian Dashboard.
• Enrol the devices you plan to use with Apple Classroom or select already enrolled devices.

• Select the devices by clicking on the eye icon next to each device.

Enable Classroom Device

• Navigate to Device Information.
• Enable the slider for Classroom Device for all student and teacher devices.

Assign Devices to Students

• Assign devices to students:
  • Option 1: Select the pencil icon next to the student on the dashboard, type in the Device name, and click Add and Save.
  • Option 2: Select the Device with the eye icon, click Link Student on the top right, type in the student's name, and click Save Changes.

Assign Teacher Devices

• Go to Settings and select Users.
• Assign the teacher's device to the teacher's user account on the dashboard.

Create or Assign Classes

• Create classes and assign the teacher or assign the teacher to existing classes on the dashboard:
  • Navigate to Settings and select Classes.
  • Alternatively, teachers can create classes on their dashboard and add students themselves.

Install Apple Classroom

• Install Apple Classroom on all teacher devices.
• Refresh these devices after installation.
  • We recommend using tags and applying the tag to each student's device for installation.

Create Teacher Groups: (Optional)

• Create a Teacher Group to assign teacher and student devices and allow teachers certain permissions:
  • Go to Devices.
  • Select Teacher Groups.
  • Click Create New and set up devices and permissions for the teacher.
  • Refer to the article on creating Teacher Groups for more information: Configuring Teacher Groups.
• Allow teachers access to refresh their own devices if they create new classes and wish them to sync through to Apple Classroom.

Confirm Classes in Apple Classroom

• Open Apple Classroom on the teacher's device.
• Confirm all classes are displaying.
  • If not, refresh the device on the Mobile Guardian dashboard once more.

By following these steps, you will ensure that your Mobile Guardian setup is seamlessly integrated with Apple Classroom, allowing teachers to manage their classes effectively.
