SIGTC Annual Meeting

SIGTC Annual Meeting- National Tech Directors/Coordinators Group

This was great! I sat at the iPad management group table. Below are my notes. It was great to hear how each school or district managed this. We had everything from schools with 5 carts to schools that are 1:1 with 2000 iPads.  I want to investigate having students work as our own Genius Squad.  Here is the link for the iTunes class: 

Free mirroring app for iPads D15 column

Table discussions -

Casper per device yearly fee
1500 $9 per device per year

1850 devices switching from profile manager 
Got away from assigning devices in Configurator
Profile Manager used to wireless 

800 iPads 

Meraki - set network, proxy, profiles for faculty and students, access to App Store via email.  Set up account without with no payment (see web for explanation.), Meraki will let you push out VPP.  Still have to sign in to every iPad.

Students get their own Apple ID and buy their own app
350 rental

25 students are trained as Geniuses Genius Squad

Update the iPads, still have to touch each device.
