Apple announces new education plan AppleSchoolManager It is reported that Apple is vigorously promoting students to use its products in the classroom. Apple announced a new education plan called AppleSchoolManager at the new product launch conference held on Tuesday local time. Users can use AppleSchoolManager to create Apple IDs individually or in batches. According to the company, teachers can create 1 0,500 Apple IDs for schools within 1 minute. Apple also launched a new application called Classroom, which can help teachers manage students and let them focus on learning tasks. This app will be available in June this year. Another new application called School Homework can help teachers manage and assign homework. These new tools released by Apple enable its iPad to compete with Google products in the education market. In 20 14, Google released its own education plan, GoogleClassroom. This program can be used by schools for free, allowing teachers to create study classrooms for students and manage homework. Google also allows students to access the educational version of the GSuite application suite, such as a document or form application. At present, Google products have become the first choice for many educators. More than 30 million children use Google apps in the classroom. And Google's low-cost laptop Chromebook has also become the school's flagship product. According to the data of Futuresource, Chromebook with ChromeOS operating system currently account for about 60% of the education market below 12 grade, while Apple accounts for 17%. However, although Google has taken over the education market in recent years, Apple products are no strangers to students. The company once offered special hardware discounts to students, such as giving away a free iPod when buying a new Mac computer.
