iPads provide countless learning opportunities, including differentiated and self-paced learning, and shared iPads provide one of the most cost effective ways to bring this technology into the classroom. This course walks teachers through every step involved in setting up, deploying, and managing shared iPads. Author Sean Colins shows how to prepare iPads for supervision, set up profiles that lock down certain functionality, and find and install apps. Most of these techniques employ the easy-to-use Apple Configurator, which also allows you to set up a master iPad to deploy settings to student iPads quickly. Plus, get tips along the way on blocking ads, storing student data, and buying apps with Apple's Volume Purchase Program.
