InterwebsGuy Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 Way past that unfortunately, 700+ iPads! Perhaps not then!
tmoon-mint Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 Casper also now supports Apple Classroom, was playing with this yesterday, nice http://resources.jamfsoftware.com/documents/technical-papers/Supporting-Apples-Classroom-App-and-Shared-iPad-with-the-Casper-Suite.pdf#page6 Does the device have to support shared iPad in order to take advantage of the classroom app? I have been using 16GB devices for years as they suit our needs. Hopefully I get the answer im looking for but im guessing not .

I have been using 16GB devices for years as they suit our needs. Hopefully I get the answer im looking for but im guessing not . You can setup classes and use the classroom app on 16gb devices. You just can't take advantage of the new shared ipad deployment they've introduced. https://help.apple.com/classroom/ipad/1.0/#/cadc1b9b4f8a
tmoon-mint Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 Wow wasnt expecting that answer. Thanks gonna have some fun playing with this!
RLR Posted April 15, 2016 Posted April 15, 2016 Wow wasnt expecting that answer. Thanks gonna have some fun playing with this! I've been playing with it this morning. It works surprisingly well. The classes just need to be setup in your MDM and the classroom app needs to be on the teacher ipad. Has some very nice features for controlling the classroom!
Brimstone Posted April 15, 2016 Author Posted April 15, 2016 For those of you who either don't have an MDM that supports this or (yet) or are still banging away moaning about AC2 on here show your ICT coordinator or senior leader this video, they may find some budget for you for an MDM to manage them
tmoon-mint Posted April 18, 2016 Posted April 18, 2016 No support for Classroom in Meraki just yet but I have taken a look on the Meraki blog and its coming at some point. Just gonna have to be patient.
ASGeek Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 Using (VMWare)AirWatch. Hide app feature is available in the suite but have just received notification Apple have revoked the hide "Settings" icon. Has this happen for "Casper" users? Can someone kindly put a video together demonstrating the hide app feature. thanks in advance

Brimstone Posted April 26, 2016 Author Posted April 26, 2016 Apple have not released the API to let you hide this app for any MDM Solution.
InterwebsGuy Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 Apple have not released the API to let you hide this app for any MDM Solution. As I thought. Presumably this is due to the accessibility settings being in there...
ass17 Posted April 30, 2016 Posted April 30, 2016 Would Apple Classroom only work with school owned devices that are supervised? It possible if all students bought in their own iPads? I would assume it doesn't work or is not practical.

I would assume it doesn't work or is not practical. Byod wouldn't work because the student ipads need to be supervised a long with an educational configuration profile pushed out to them.

InterwebsGuy Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 Would Apple Classroom only work with school owned devices that are supervised? It possible if all students bought in their own iPads? I would assume it doesn't work or is not practical. It works on any device.
RLR Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 It works on any device. Apple Classroom will not work unless they have the edu profile pushed to them via an mdm. Student ipads also need to be supervised.
InterwebsGuy Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 Apple Classroom will not work unless they have the edu profile pushed to them via an mdm. Student ipads also need to be supervised. You can push an MDM profile for classroom without the need for the device to be supervised, IRC.
RLR Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 You can push an MDM profile for classroom without the need for the device to be supervised, IRC. This may be possible but the byod devices will still need to be supervised which can only be done by Apple Configurator or DEP: https://help.apple.com/classroom/ipad/1.0/#/cadc1b9b4f8a
Brimstone Posted May 3, 2016 Author Posted May 3, 2016 You can push an MDM profile for classroom without the need for the device to be supervised, IRC. Whilst teachers iPad does not need to be supervised any students iPads require supervision for the teacher to be able to manage them...
