Managing a set of android tablets

[Undermanager]

I'm at a school in Cambodia. We have just aquired a set of new Huawei T3 10 Mediapad tablets. I will be setting them up over the next week, adding apps for learning English for children most of whom are under 10 years old with very basic English. Any top tips for doing this and maintaining them please? I want them to be all the same, to be able to recover an image, to lock them down if possible and to make them as easy to use as possible. I am only in Cambodia two or three times a year and there is noone here at the school who can do anything complicated. Simplicity of management is key!

 

Thanks for think about this.

Unless you have a specific management tool then whch I think would be costly then I would look at Google and Gsuite.

Thanks for the reply. It looks like you need a domain name registered and an email for that domain name. The school doesn't have these. It looks pretty complicated as well!

Not sure what Google's setup is in Cambodia, but I would ask they are very helpful and if its free for Education in Cambodia like here in the uk. Then that would be my route.

Thanks. What I was really thinking of is to set up one tablet with all the apps they can be used. Then clone this image to the other tablets. Things like email won't be used. We are talking a very poor school, no money for anything, no support of any kind until I visit. Am looking for a simple way of cloning tablets and if one gets messed around with, it can be easily recloned. Sorry if I sound like a noddy (I am 😊).

If you can get a bootloader/root on the tablets you can clone them with a few steps and usb connection to a computer/OTA usb cable or drive
