Start With Planning

Why We Used a Mobile iPad Laboratory
The original plan was to use sets of laptops, BUT…
• iPads are less expensive than laptops• iPads are lighter in weight than laptops• iPads are easier to manage than laptops

Purchasing iPads
AU has purchased more than 600 iPads over the past 3 years.
• Began with 12/educator and kids shared • Built up over time• Now have a mixture of iPad 1s, 2s and 3s
It’s important to understand purchasing policies through your institution
• Bid laws• Sole source vendor• Apple offers discount on 10 iPad bundles

Protection & Transportation• Protect each iPad with individual cases
• OtterBox vs. Inexpensive

Central Management
Depending on number of iPads, central management can be a good idea
Many different options available• We have used Casper Suite from JAMF (based on NCSU
recommendation years ago)• OSU has used MaaS360• LSU has used AirWatch
Apple’s Device Enrollment Program (DEP) should make enrollment easier
Another budget item!
