iPad & Mac Management

Managing iPad

iPads with brilliant apps provide wonderful learning opportunities in the classroom, but perhaps setup and management is taking longer than you would like.

Our work across hundreds of schools has shown that most schools struggle with:

  • Initial setup of their iPads

  • Installing Apps

  • Configuration of WiFi and access to the Internet

  • Managing student documents and photos

  • Storage and charging

A key part of easier iPad management is moving to a Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution like Jamf School, which allows you to manage your iPads over WiFi – so no more collecting iPads and plugging them in Configurator via USB and  wasting hours watching apps install.

But it's also about having everything labelled, logins and passwords documented, storage and charging solutions in place, and a long term replacement plan for all your technology.

Managing Mac

Today, Mobile Device Management (MDM) is the best way to configure and manage your Mac fleet. Previously, imaging was the simplest solution, but a number of hardware and software changes for the Mac, including the new Apple Silicon renders imaging to the history books.

Using an MDM solution like Jamf School you can easily setup new Macs, install apps, configure settings and even offer self-service. Advanced administration through custom package installers and UNIX commands sent through your MDM allow all aspects to be managed.
