"Of course, Schoolwork will let you point students to an app. That's great, but that's not enough. What's really cool is making it easy for you to assign students a specific activity in an app"
Scott Stein 3/27/2018 3:39:09 PM
Can jump right into app specific activities, link into it via Schoolwork app.

"Now as assigning an activity in an app is as easy as assigning a worksheet." And just as easy to check on their progress

While we've seen more women on stage than any other Apple event, it would be great to see this many at an iPhone announcement, not just an education event with tons of female teachers (though a shout-out to all the teachers out there, including my mom!)
