Funding Source & Use Priorities • Title vs. General Fund • Email • Infinite Campus (our student information system) • Grades • Attendance
Initial Setup • You must have a MacBook to supervise and set up iPads. A cart is convenient for setup, storing, and charging iPads. (We use Bretford.) • Create an institutional Apple ID to supervise the iPads. • Download Apple Configurator from the App Store.
Initial Setup • Using the MacBook, prepare one iPad. • Set up the iPad exactly how you want each iPad. • Create a backup of the iPad. • Connect the MacBook to the cart and prepare all iPads with only a wi-fi profile. • Finally, supervise all iPads with the backup profile and numbers.
Touch Every iPad • If your school location wi-fi differs from the one used for setup, enter on each device. • Log in one time to iCloud in Settings on each device. • We added label stickers to iPads with their numbers.
What We Did Wrong • It was recommended to use to add a “non-delete” profile. • Forced a setup “part deux” day – single iPad at a time reset.
