IPAD Management

[JATSO]

Hi All,

The school wants to purchase a small bundle of iPad's along with a charge and sync system.

Being a Chromebook using school how do we manage them?

Any pointers apart from don't buy them?

is the school enrolled in Apple School Manager

Jamf School seems to be the preferred way at present

Once enrolled in Apple School Manager, purchase from an authorised education reseller ( you will get the best pricing ) and get them DEP.

Once configured with Jamf School- (others are available) you just put the wifi in and the rest is history

No need for charge and Sync anymore as everything is done over the air with modern MDM

The trollies/Carts will thus be less expensive

Thank You

I would start with getting the school enrolled in apple school manager - Free

Then I would take a look at Mosyle manager to actually do the management. The free version should be fine for you there as well, we managed over 3,000 devices just on the free version.

Charge and sync wise I would suggest taking a look at Zioxi, I don't think you will really need the sync option as it will add a lot of cost and will likely be of no use to you unless you are enrolling them with Apple Configurator on a Mac, in which case a half decent USB hub would be more cost effective.
