The following resources are designed to help IT leaders prepare your environment for remote learning.

Prepare devices to be taken home

Your first step is to determine which of your school’s devices can be taken home by teachers and students. Then, you can use your mobile device management system (MDM) to quickly set up iPad devices and Mac computers with content, settings, and restrictions to support remote learning for your students.

Below are suggestions to help you prepare devices for remote learning, depending on how they are currently used at school.

For devices currently deployed in a classroom-based, one-to-one program

Adjust settings to make sure that students can work remotely when they take devices home.

For devices that are currently deployed as shared, cart-based devices

Adjust settings so that individual students can take devices home. You might also set up a schedule, so that a group of students can take home devices for a period of time, then return their devices for the next group of students. Using MDM, devices can be quickly erased and set up for each group of users.

For students with personal devices

Provide instructions for manual MDM enrollment, so that students can access additional apps and resources for use at home. Learn how to manually enroll a device in MDM.

Set up devices with MDM

• Use Automated Device Enrollment for all organization-owned devices, so that they’re always managed and automatically reenrolled to your MDM, if they're ever erased.
• Update all Mac computers and iPad devices to the latest available version of macOS and iPadOS. This ensures compatibility with apps and MDM settings.
• Configure Managed Apple IDs in Apple School Manager to provide teachers and students with access to 200GB of free iCloud storage for documents, media projects, and backups. Learn more about Managed Apple IDs.
• For students using personal devices, send verification codes in Apple School Manager so that they can use their Managed Apple ID to sign in to iCloud.
• Configure Calendar to help organize your students' days and keep them on task. Learn more about calendar payload settings.
• Deploy the core apps that your teachers and students need to continue learning from home. Apps can be distributed remotely using Apple School Manager and your MDM. Learn how to select and buy content in Apple School Manager.
• Use your MDM system’s self-service feature (if available) to provide students with a catalog of supplemental apps. Refer to your MDM documentation to find out if this feature is supported and how to implement it.
• If you don't have an MDM solution, providers such as Jamf, Mosyle, and Meraki offer extended trial periods to help with rapid deployment in remote learning.

For an overview of essential tasks and resources needed to set up and manage Apple devices, watch this video. Topics include selecting a deployment model, enrolling devices in mobile device management, and deploying core apps to students.

Configure settings specific to your school

If Apple School Manager is linked to your Student Information System (SIS)

Make sure to adjust the start and end dates of the term to include any period of school closures or remote learning that you’re planning. That way, class rosters continue to sync to Apple School Manager. Learn how to connect your SIS to Apple School Manager.

Filter device content for appropriate resources

Use settings to make sure that students have access to resources and follow acceptable use policies when learning at home. For example:

• Make sure that network restrictions allow connections from home or public Wi-Fi networks. Learn how to set network restrictions with MDM.
• Set up filtering options for Safari and third-party apps, such as adult-content filters, global HTTP proxy, and advanced content filtering plug-ins. Learn more about filtering content for Apple devices.
• Use an end point security solution, such as Cisco Security Connector, which offers protection and network telemetry with cloud-hosted extended trial periods.
• Configure notification settings to minimize distractions during school hours. Learn how to configure notifications payload settings.
• Use scheduled profiles, if supported by your MDM, to provide needed restrictions during school hours while allowing for extra flexibility during evening non-school hours.
• Learn more about iOS and iPadOS restrictions.

iPadThe perfect computer for learning looks nothing like a computer.

iPad is designed for complete freedom of expression and freedom of movement. With amazing apps and advanced built-in technologies, iPad can be anything students want it to be, and has the power to create anything students dream up. Yet it’s so intuitive, they can immediately take an idea and run with it.

For a more powerful and productive iPad.

Built on the same foundation as iOS, iPad has become a truly distinct experience. With powerful apps designed for the large Multi-Touch display. A redesigned Home Screen for information at a glance. New multitasking tools that let educators and students work exactly how they want with intuitive gestures. A desktop class browsing experience in Safari on iPad, so web apps work exactly as you're used to. And an updated Files app for powerful new ways to view, work on, and share files.

Loaded with advanced technology, but so easy to pick up.

Multi-TouchIt works the way kids think.

From the moment students pick up an iPad, they’re ready to make things happen by tapping, swiping, dragging, and dropping. Right away, they know how to move text, photos, and documents around like experts, whether they’re just learning how to spell or plotting trig functions. Multi-Touch is a profoundly immersive and responsive experience that gets students of all learning styles fully engaged in what they’re doing. And in what you’re teaching.

AccessibilityBuilt to make every student powerful.

Like all our products, iPad is designed with a wide range of features to empower students of all abilities. Including Speak Screen, which reads content aloud to those who can’t see it, or who learn better with audio reinforcement. VoiceOver, which can walk students through actions such as opening a document or selecting a menu item. Guided Access and Safari Reader help students stay focused. And now Voice Control opens up an intuitive new way to navigate iPadOS — using only your voice.

The power to do anything. And everything.

PerformanceDoes what you’d expect only a desktop could do.

As soon as you hand out an iPad, you’re putting incredible power in your students’ hands. They can edit a 4K video between classes. Build a 3D model of a steam engine. Or conduct a virtual orchestra to create the soundtrack for a presentation on classical music. And the new iPad with iPadOS makes all that work even faster than before.

ProductivityWork in more than one app. At once. Edit with the touch of a finger.

Learning doesn’t always happen one app at a time. iPad OS expands the versatility of iPad with new ways to multitask and work with apps in multiple windows. Students can write a book report in Pages while referencing the novel in Books, keeping both apps active in Split View. Or they can research the life cycle of butterflies in Safari while sketching the larval stage in Keynote. Slide Over keeps all the apps they need at the ready. They can use the Dock to pull up favorite and recently used apps and projects, and switch between them on the fly. Drag and Drop lets students easily move content from one app to another. And new intuitive gestures make easy work of editing your work — with just your fingers.

SafariWeb apps like you’re used to.

Browsing the internet on iPad is so immersive it’s like holding the web in your hands. And now, powerful new features make Safari on iPadOS a desktop-class browsing experience. Enjoy the desktop version of websites like Google Docs and WordPress on your iPad exactly as you’re used to. And the new Download Manager lets you see and manage your downloaded files.

Augmented reality.Teach them about the world. By changing how they see it.

Augmented reality on iPad can transform how students learn about and connect with the world around them. Turn your classroom into the cosmos. Make a history lesson as vivid as the present by restoring ancient artifacts. Or even peer inside everyday objects to understand how they’re put together. iPad is built to move, packed with advanced technologies like accelerometers, powerful cameras, and an operating system designed with AR specifically in mind. All together, it creates an experience that’s simply not possible on other platforms.

Sketch a thought, type out a verse, or capture a scene.

Apple PencilFor free-flowing notes, ideas, or masterpieces.

Though it feels familiar, Apple Pencil opens up an entirely new way to use iPad¹. It puts an incredible selection of tools and effects in a single instrument. And with iPadOS, Apple Pencil feels even more like writing on paper. So it’s perfect for taking notes, capturing observations on a field trip, shading detailed illustrations, marking up documents and web pages, and anything else students or teachers need to do.

Apple Pencil can be a pen, a paintbrush, a pastel stick, and more. And its sophisticated pressure and tilt sensors can achieve all the same subtle effects. Lightning-fast responsiveness creates a smooth and natural experience. So students can do everything from calligraphy to technical drawing, smudging to erasing, watercolor to oil painting — as if they were doing them all on real paper, but with capabilities that go far beyond the real thing.

Now it’s easy for students to write or draw right in any Pages, Numbers, or Keynote document. And teachers can instantly add their own notes to those documents, along with PDFs, photos, web pages, and more.

CamerasTake in the world.
In more ways than one.

On a single device, students can capture a moment, an inspiration, or a scene, and immediately start working with it. Whether that’s filming the science fair for the school website, or editing a documentary for a history project. And the FaceTime camera makes it easy to communicate and collaborate with others.

KeyboardsFor those who need to feel every keystroke and command.

The onscreen keyboard is always there for responding to email or taking a quick note. You can also use a physical keyboard¹ if you want one. And with iPadOS, there are more ways to use both however you want.

Designed to go wherever ideas lead.

DesignBuilt to move.
And to be handled.

iPad is incredibly thin and weighs just a pound, so it’s light enough to move about the classroom or take on any adventure outside school. And it’s as durable as it is portable, with an aluminum unibody construction to withstand true hands-on learning.

BatteryFrom homeroom straight through to homework.

With up to 10 hours of battery life², iPad lets kids be productive and creative throughout the school day. So they can go from doing their own field research, to drafting their final project, to handing it in — without having to stop to recharge.

Wi-FiUntethered creativity.

Super-fast 802.11ac Wi-Fi means students can stay connected to their assignments and projects, no matter which classroom they’re in. They can browse websites as soon as teachers share them, stream a video lecture uninterrupted, collaborate on documents, and hand in even the most media-rich projects instantly.

Apps For School On Mac Shortcut

iCloud and FilesPlenty of space for students to think big.

iCloud safely stores all of a student’s documents and projects, keeping them up to date, secure, and accessible from any device. And any teacher or student with a Managed Apple ID gets 200GB of free iCloud storage.

iPadOS gives you powerful new ways to view and work on files. The Files app keeps all your work organized and easy to find in one place, whether its stored in the Cloud, on your iPad, or even a USB drive, so students can grab their files from anywhere. iPadOS lets you take quick actions like markup, and rotate files, and compress and uncompress ZIP archives.

The magic of iPad is that you can make it anything you need it to be.

With apps, iPad can be a laboratory, a movie studio, a time machine, even a spaceship. From free Apple-designed apps for doing and creating to the thousands of apps in the App Store designed specifically for learning, no matter the topic or the task at hand, there’s an app to make it even more engaging.

Built-in AppsReady to create.
From the word go.

iPad comes packed with a collection of apps designed by Apple to take full advantage of advanced technologies like the Multi-Touch display, Camera, and accelerometer. iMovie brings the power of moving images to storytelling. GarageBand lets any student be in a band, even if they’ve never played an instrument. And Pages can transform written reports into interactive, digital books complete with photos and illustrations.

Apps for EducationA world of apps for discovery, exploration, and creation.

The App Store has thousands more iPad apps from education software developers. Students can discover how their world is made by touching, stretching, and twisting molecules or make a digital virtual creation and add it to the real world environment with Augmented Reality. Apps and services like Google Docs, Google Drive, Microsoft Office, and Dropbox work great on iPad too.
