“iPad has revolutionised my approach. It’s awakened a passion within me for learning that I never had before.”

Suresh is a dual major in science and business whose iPad helped change his approach to learning. Find out how he incorporates curiosity and creativity into his process.

Samuel Suresh creates his own study guides with GoodNotes 5 on his iPad.

Western Sydney University, class of 2022

“iPad puts me in control of my learning. It helps me discover that learning isn’t just a fixed process. It is malleable and adaptable — a reflection of the way my mind is thinking.”

While you may not be able to tell by looking at his notes and study guides, Samuel Suresh used to hate studying. But once he began to infuse curiosity and creativity into his process, Suresh discovered that iPad was the perfect tool to help him evolve from simply studying to truly learning.

“iPad allows you to try things you’ve never done before, to make mistakes and magically rectify them with the tap of a finger. That changes everything!”

The versatility of iPad supports Suresh’s varied learning style. He multitasks across apps with Split View, uses Apple Pencil to create notes with detailed diagrams and relies on apps like GoodNotes 5 to bring it all together in beautiful personalised study guides that help crystallise what he’s learning.

“iPad empowers you to own your learning. To take the knowledge you’re studying — whether it be from textbooks, videos, lectures — and make it your own. It’s made me fall in love with the process of breaking down what I’m learning and building it up again in the visual notes I create.”

Suresh believes iPad helps him embrace curiosity and creativity in his learning process, taking control of his education and breaking free from linear textbooks and classroom walls.

“Curiosity is a chaotic, erratic process that goes all over the place. It doesn’t fit the traditional classroom. To students who are curious but feel limited by the process of ‘studying’, iPad unlocks their minds to a process where they can truly learn and express their creativity.”

Productivity at a glance.

Accessibility features are built in for every kind of learner. Like VoiceOver, which uses audio to help you navigate within apps. And Speak Screen to turn any textbook into an audiobook.

Night Shift uses your clock and location to automatically adjust the colour of your display for easier all-nighters.

Spaces gives you multiple desktops on Mac to compartmentalise different projects.

Reminders and Calendar keep track of deadlines and schedules.

Apple devices are as easy to deploy as they are to use.

We want every aspect of your school’s experience with Apple products to be as simple and intuitive as the products themselves. That starts with support for IT in each step of your deployment.

iPad and Mac integrate seamlessly into your learning environment.

Whether you’re planning a brand new deployment, or adding Apple devices into your existing infrastructure, iPad and Mac fit right in. And now with Microsoft Azure Active Directory support, it’s easier than ever to provide your students and staff with access to key Apple services for teaching and learning. All the apps and services your teachers and students need every day, like Google Drive and Microsoft Office, are available on iPad. And with the countless creative tools iPad offers, students are empowered to express their learning any way they like.

Prepare your school to get up and running.

Apple School Manager is a simple, web-based portal that helps IT administrators deploy iPad and Mac in schools. You can easily provide students and staff with access to Apple services, set up devices, get apps and books, and enable teachers with tools to create engaging learning experiences — all from one place.

Learn the basics of deployment and get started with Apple School Manager.

Integrate with your school’s existing systems.

With federated authentication in Apple School Manager, it’s now easier than ever to integrate iPad and Mac into your existing environment using your school’s Microsoft Azure Active Directory credentials.

Use Azure Active Directory to manage access.

Connect Apple School Manager with your school’s Microsoft Azure Active Directory and get every student and staff member automatically set up with Apple services. Your students and staff members can then use their existing Microsoft account credentials to log in to iPad, Mac, iCloud, and Schoolwork.

Prepare for this simplified login experience:

• Verify that your school uses Microsoft Azure Active Directory. 1
• Decide which school domains you’d like to link to Apple School Manager.
• Set up the connection to Microsoft Azure Active Directory in Apple School Manager.

Connect your Student Information System.

The easiest way to get class rosters with students and teachers set up in Apple School Manager is through a direct connection to your schools’s roster data in your Student Information System (SIS). Apple School Manager integrates directly with popular SIS providers including SunGard, Infinite Campus, and PowerSchool. And use Claris Connect to seamlessly import SIS data from Aeries, Follet Aspen, and Skyward. Roster information is then available for Schoolwork, Classroom, and Shared iPad, so teachers can start working with their class right away.

Integrate Apple School Manager with your existing systems.

Build an individualized experience for students and staff.

With apps, iPad can become a laboratory, a movie studio, a time machine, even a spaceship. Apple School Manager makes it easy to provide classrooms with the right learning materials in time for the first day of class, from the productivity apps schools need for their daily workflows, and free Apple-designed apps for doing and creating, to the thousands of apps in the App Store designed specifically for learning.

When you’ve set up federated authentication, students and teachers can use their existing login to access the full range of Apple services, including 200GB of free iCloud Storage and the ability to collaborate in Pages, Keynote, and Numbers. Students get an individualized experience on iPad, even if they’re sharing a device. Teachers can use Schoolwork to hand out assignments and follow student progress, helping them tailor instruction to each student’s needs. And importantly, their personal data will stay private and secure.

Easily buy apps and books.

Purchasing content in bulk for iPad and Mac is made easy within the Apps and Books area in Apple School Manager. You can search for content, purchase licenses with your education volume discount, and instantly view important information including assigned and available licenses, all in one place. And with MDM, you can send content directly to iPad and Mac. Your school retains app licenses and can easily reassign apps among all your devices.

Offer a curated app catalog.

If your MDM provides a self service portal, you can allow students and teachers to install additional apps and books from a selection that is pre-approved by your school. So the content you make available meets your curriculum goals as well as your standards for security and privacy.

Include every learner.

Everyone learns differently. And our products are designed to support those differences. So they include innovative assistive technologies to complement every learner’s vision, hearing, motor skills, learning, and literacy needs. And IT admins can use MDM to configure devices wirelessly with the assistive apps for individual students’ needs already in place when students log in to their device for the first time.

Purchasing content is straightforward, and deploying it to the necessary groups is simple. Having one central place, instead of navigating across a multitude of logins and tabs, is a timesaver.

Ensure teachers and students have the apps and books they need.

Privacy is our first thought.
Not an afterthought.

Our business doesn’t depend on invading anyone’s privacy. Especially schoolkids. We care about energizing students’ imaginations — not monetizing their data. Every Apple product is built with an integrated approach to privacy and security — providing schools with devices, apps, and services that keep student data and personal information secure. We don’t sell student information, we never share it with third parties to use for marketing or advertising, and we don’t build profiles based on their email or web browsing. And with Managed Apple IDs, the school controls student information and can choose to enable or disable apps and services such as iMessage, FaceTime, and student progress recording with the Schoolwork app.

Apple maintains certifications in compliance with the ISO standards over key in-scope systems supporting Apple’s Education offerings. We also meet the requirements of the EU GDPR framework. In addition, Apple has signed the Student Privacy Pledge, further underscoring our commitment to protecting the information of students, parents, and teachers shared in our schools.

Set up devices instantly.

Once you’ve designed the learning experiences you want your teachers and students to have, you can set up devices so everyone can get up and running quickly. Whether your school chooses a one-to-one iPad environment or a shared iPad model, with Apple School Manager and your mobile device management (MDM) solution, you can easily automate device setup. Wirelessly configure settings and restrictions according to your school’s requirements, then assign devices to students, teachers, or class groups.

Apple School Manager and your MDM work together.

With Apple School Manager you can assign school devices to MDM so they are automatically enrolled and configured. Since you can set the default MDM server by device type, it’s easy to automate assignments for iPad and Mac. Using MDM you can wirelessly deploy apps and books, configure home screen layouts, filter web access, schedule overnight software updates, find misplaced devices, and manage dozens of other settings.

Choosing your MDM solution.

MDM solutions are available from a wide range of vendors, whether your school is better suited for a cloud-hosted environment or an on-premise server. MDM solutions come with different features and pricing, so you have flexibility in deciding how to bring Apple devices into your school.

Shared iPad

Shared iPad enables schools to share devices between students, while still providing a personalized experience. 2 Before class begins, teachers can assign any student any shared iPad. Students know which devices to use because their pictures are on the Lock screens and they can access their personal content using a password or easy-to-remember four-digit PIN. Because a local copy of their data is stored on the device, after students log in, their homework, apps, and assignments are exactly as they left them. So teachers and technology managers won’t lose time backing up or wiping data between classes.

Assessments and standardized testing.

iPad and Mac are approved devices for administering secure exams. Both work with state online exams, including tests from the Smarter Balance Assessment Consortium (SBAC) and ACT Aspire. With assessment mode, apps can automatically lock and configure iPad and Mac for testing, to prevent students from accessing other apps or features. There are also a range of formative learning apps that let you evaluate students’ long-term progress as they move toward statewide testing.
