Deploying a school technology program

The School Locker has years of experience carrying out IT deployments within education environments – both large and small. We create customised solutions for every school we work with after consultation to establish what will work best for them. With a centralised system designed for deployments, we carry out the process with minimal fuss, saving time and human resources.

Zero-touch configuration is now really possible by combining Apple’s Device Enrolment Program (DEP) with Mobile Device Management (MDM) software and an education Volume Purchasing Program (VPP). Setting up iPads and Macs for use at school couldn’t be easier. Once devices are enrolled in DEP a guided activation process and built-in Setup Assistant helps individual users setup each device themselves – straight from the box. It’s then possible for administrators to wirelessly supervise these enroled devices providing an even higher level of device management. Administrators can control additional restrictions like turning particular apps on or off, and customising specific configurations and features.



Apple Tools for IT and Deployment

Apple has built powerful tools specifically for schools to support administrators with deployment, help teachers with classroom workflows and personalise learning for every student.

DEP Key Features

Apple School Manager

Apple School Manager

Apple School Manager is a simple, web-based portal that lets IT administrators deploy iPad and Mac in schools. You can easily provide students and staff members 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. And now with Microsoft Azure Active Directory support, it’s easier than ever to integrate iPad and Mac into your existing environment, and provide your students and staff members with access to key Apple services for teaching and learning. With access to iCloud Drive, iCloud Photos, iCloud Backup, Classwork and Shared iPad, teachers and students can access learning materials and the work they’ve created on any device.
