Day 3: Teach a class
Share a lab with students, run a class timer, and use the instructor dashboard for broadcast / grade / PDF / proctor.
Goal
Share a lab with students, run a class timer, and use the instructor dashboard for broadcast / grade / PDF / proctor.
Why this day exists
Without Classroom, every student rebuilds the same topology. Timers free the host when class ends.
Timers require Enterprise (classroom feature). Sharing can still work when timers are not entitled - see Features.
