As computer ownership has became more widespread in the community, and schools have moved to 1:1 models for student and teacher computers and mobile devices, the need for mass deployment of school-owned shared devices has declined.
However, the need remains for the provision by schools of some shared devices – laptops or iPads to be used as ‘spares’, faculty ‘labs’ providing access to specialised software such as CAD, 3D modelling, music, etc, or in school-sponsored 1:1 deployments.
This page provides links to information about deploying and managing software images and settings on school-owned computers, including….
- deploying software images to desktop and laptop computers;
- managing settings on desktop and laptop computers;
- deploying apps and updates to iPads;
- managing settings on iPads;
- managing Chromebook settings and apps.
These models also assume that all users’ files and personal data is stored off the device, on a local or cloud server.
