Description
New Feature Request: objective is to bring curriculum (i.e. https://makecode.microbit.org/courses/csintro) closer together with classroom tools (https://classroom.microbit.org), making teachers' lives easier.
The idea would be to have a "Open in Classroom" button that could be enabled in docs (through some sort of markdown tag - don't want this to appear on all code snippets). This way, a teacher could easily take some starter code in a lesson from the curriculum and open it up in a Classroom session.
Another idea would be to have a way to share any project from the editor to Classroom - like some sort of button in the Share dialog.

Research direction
Start by reviewing how curriculum docs handle markdown code snippets and how the editor's Share dialog is implemented. Clarify the Classroom integration and whether both the docs button and Share dialog action are in scope. Done means an agreed design and working path for opening curriculum or editor projects in a Classroom session.
