1) You can use Apple Configurator to manage them but you need a Mac Book or you can use Meraki MDM which is free or you can use both. 2) You cant lock the home screen but you can refresh the device using the Mac Book which will restore it to the state you originally set it to no matter what the kids do it. This is a common problem in schools. 3) You cant stop them setting locks but you can hide the settings in folder some where and set restrictions, but refresh of the device will resolve the problem. 4) You cant stop them from turning off the wireless. 5) The good thing if the kids do anything, you can refresh the device and it go back to its original state you set it up to using Apple Configurator. 6) Updating the Apps. You can use Apple Configurator to update the Apps which takes a while per case or use Meraki MDM which does it over the wireless, you can push. 7) Flash does not work on the ipads. Workarounds some companies tell you to use Puffin Academy, it works sometimes and sometimes its slow or has problem loading. I think its due to the Puffin Browser using their own proxies which at sometimes of the day can get overloaded.

I am also having problems with Puffin Academy browser. It slows right down or freezes up on Education City. It seems to work sometimes and certain parts of the day it doesnt work. Anyone know alternatives?

I recently updated Apple Configurator to 1.6 yesterday and load of new restrictions have come up. We are primary school. Any ideas on which would be best to set? Or recommendations please? Thanks

Hi I need to set URL with Puffin Academy browser. URL includes the school name, credentials and password so the primary pupils dont all have to log on. On the ipads it opens up in Safari and logs on fine but website uses flash so the content does not work. However it works in Puffin Academy but can set up bookmarks or set the above URL as the home page. Is there any I can add this URL to Puffin Academy and set as a home page or book mark or how do other school use this? Thanks
