We're now using Shared iPad mode for all student ages.

Wish us luck, send flower to my funeral... 

 

We've turned a blind eye to iPad student internet tracking for too long. Yes, they've been filtered and tied to 1:1 pseudo accounts, but after I reminded them we were averaging 1.5 alerts per day across the trust and we had no way of tracking who was using any of the 600 iPads, our hand was forced and I've implemented Shared iPad mode, federated against Google. Some staff are very unhappy that it's too hard, but we just have to use Safeguarding to quieten them again.

 

Anyone else been in this position? Teachers spouting safeguarding left, right, and centre, but heaven forbid they have to teach kids IT skills in an IT lesson, using a very simple user guide I created for them...

Our iPads for students are 1:1 tied and have Lighspeed filtering and Smoothwal monitoring for safeguarding. They tie to the individual.

 

I tried to get Lighstpeed working with the Shared setup but later found it wasn't supposed to work.
