toomuchtodo Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 Hi all First post so I hope this is understandable! We have 200 iPads deployed (staff and Pupils) Staff no problem. Pupils - nightmare! We use Configurator and Meraki. Filtering by Endian. We have for various technical reasons to protect data usage as our monthly data usage is restricted. Lesson usage is fine but pupils with iPads at break times and lunch times mean that the pupils WILL get up to all sorts of tricks to try and get around filters and use up data! The main difficulty is shutting down BBC iPlayer - what ever I do it seems to re-route. Pupils also seem to be able to set 'private browsing' so no history is stored. Has anyone found a practical way to REALLY control these machines? All thoughts welcome!

free780 Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 Block app downloads and block iplayer at filter level?
toomuchtodo Posted September 25, 2013 Author Posted September 25, 2013 Yes we have the App store / downloads disabled. Filtering out 'some' BBC content seems tricky on Endian - it blocks all BBC or nothing! we are thinking of updating to the latest version of Endian but not sure if that will help?
