I don't think there is a way dissable the factory reset or passcode, but I have heard of some software called meraki that can be used to help manage iPads. I have not used meraki though so I can't say for sure.

You could make a password reset, like below some instructions on how to make one. VBScript Change Password - How to Set a User account password with SetPassword But Alt-Ctrl-Del is the normal way may be better for them to learn that.

Hello @Ooroo, I have worked in a school that has do the CAT tests for number of years. 1. we normal don't issue headphones unless of unique cases, (a, a student requires it or b, a student is doing a catch up in a office that a member of staff is working in) 2. Normal sound is checked by the member of staff watching the student. 3. I believe you need to have 'Show all content' so yes. 4. No freezes for the last few years, but when we did the student needed to redo the test. 5. No I always get the staff to tell them not to press the browser back and forward buttons. The students that do will then need to resit the test, normal a good test to see who is following instructions. 6. Internet explorer. 7. The school has all the year 6\7 do the test over the span of 3 days. best advise I can give is try aviod laptops being used were ever possible. Hope this is helpful.

I'm just hoping they don't mess Minecraft up

Always enjoyed him in the Bond movies, one of the hench men that looked like he could kill Bond. Going to watch Moonraker tonight. RIP Richard Kiel.

Not sure about this but there maybe something in the control settings for this but I can't remember off the top of my head.

You could setup a e-mail account such as [email protected], and ask the teachers to e-mail you if they have problems.

??? what blog?

There is also a setting that can prevent users accessing the divices and printers window as well. I think it's under control panel part

This made me laugh thanks @laserblazer

I've played this before, reminded me of lemmings computer game.

Oh dear not another one.

Sad to hear, he will be missed.

Could the be an option on your exchange that needs to be enbled/disabled? Sorry if this does help all I could think of.

To Paraphrase Benjamin Franklin (or civil tech quotes): - "Any society that would give up a little Internet freedom to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both."

Part of me thinks that they are still trying to find ways to avoid another London 2011, where it's believe that gangs used social media to organise the riots. Could be me miss reading this and just the goverment trying to tie down the internet.

Why can't there be more signs like this? So cool.

I agree with @hardtailstar, try a software update and a firmware update. If it still continues try get a laptop or another computer and see if it has the same results.

Congrats on the new job

I'd go for skin like an orange, easy to hide then a smell. WYR, Control the weather or Control the world stock market?

How many people do you guys share an office with? I share it with the network manager, another IT tech and the Frog Technician.

I'll think about it

Here is my desk Bit of a mess at the moment

Thanks for the link @timbo343

That does seem rather bad if the school does create another way for students to be bullied, but the artical seems more to do with "would someone please think of the children" from parents. will this cause bullying? Yes, if they did not do the iPad scheme will it stop the bullying in the school? No, only give the students on less reason to bully someone. Why do y5 and y6 need iPads? I know there are a load of education apps but if a lesson relies on an app that some students have on their iPads and others that have never had or delete that app that's the hole lesson plan gone. Or is this scheme away to look progressive?
