Using the Follow Me feature

The Follow Me feature allows you to call the class’s attention to a specific area of the workspace. Students can’t make changes to the workspace and see only the area of the workspace that appears on your screen. Use the Follow Me feature in the following situations:

  • You’re sharing a workspace with your entire class and want them all to see the same object or area.

  • You want your class to focus on completing a workspace assessment.

ClosedTo use Follow Me

  1. Navigate to the area of the workspace you want to show your students.

  2. Tap the SharingCollaboration tab tab.

    The Sharing pane appears

  3. Tap Start Follow Me.

    Teachers: The button text changes to All students are following. When you return to the workspace, All students are following appears beside the Sharing tab.

    Students: The tools and tabs disappear from the workspace and your view changes to match the teacher’s. Following [teacher name] appears at the top of the window. You can’t edit the workspace or view a different area of the workspace while you’re following the teacher.

  4. To allow students to return to another area of the workspace, tap End.

Note 

When you’re using the Follow Me feature, students are still able to leave the workspace and return to the class dashboard, for instance, if you want them to answer instant poll questions.
