Managing iPads at School Easily and Securely with AppTec MDM

Managing iPads at School Easily and Securely with AppTec MDM

With the AppTec Mobile Device Manager (MDM), schools and training centres can now manage iPads and content for the classroom conveniently and securely.

Tablets and other digital media enable teachers and students to access classroom content at any time and from any location – whether at home or at school. The central contact point for teachers and students with iPads and other Apple devices is the Apple School Manager (ASM). The web-based portal can be used to provide and manage iPads, iPhones, Apple TV and Mac computers as well as all content used in school.

With the AppTec Mobile Device Manager (MDM), which is now available at AppTec, the management and provision of devices and content in school and training environments can be carried out particularly efficiently and easily. AppTec MDM now has an interface that makes it easy to integrate Apple School Manager. This makes it possible to reliably control iPads and content centrally and effectively secure data – regardless of whether it is a school device or a user device.

AppTec Mobile Device Manager easy to integrate
The solution is suitable for use in traditional school settings as well as in other adult education settings such as businesses, government agencies or other training organisations. All the administrator has to do is import the structure – e.g. for user rights, profiles, app assignment, etc. – into AppTec MDM after defining it to suit his or her organization.

Create managed Apple IDs
AppTec MDM can be used to create managed Apple IDs that give teachers and students access to Apple services, such as iCloud storage, the Schoolwork app and allow collaboration with iWork and Notes.

Designing virtual lessons to fit
New devices, users and apps can be added and configured automatically via AppTec MDM. This way, teachers and students can start teaching immediately after launching their iPads. Apps and books purchased via ASM can be distributed directly to specific teachers, students or classes with the AppTec MDM.

Secure EU-branded product at an affordable licence price
The AppTec Mobile Device Manager was developed in Germany and Switzerland and complies with the strict EU data protection regulations (DSGVO). The solution is intuitive to use and includes comprehensive service and technical support. Schools can use the AppTec MDM for only 0.39 euros per device and month.

The dust on the classroom benches has its own stories to tell: Atul Malikram

The dust on the classroom benches has its own stories to tell: Atul Malikram

Eyes on the door of the classroom, he was waiting anxiously for the girl to enter. Like the past month, he made sure to come to the classroom before the final bell rang. In all his school life, he usually was the last student to enter the classroom. But this year, it was different. The reason for his early arrival is the new girl who made sure to always sit on the front bench. Today as she was entering the class, something made her look up and she stared directly into his eyes and gave him a little smile. And in this way, the school witnessed the beginning of a new love story. There was a time when the schools used to be the centre of many such occurrences, but now the dust on the locks of the school buildings tells the tales of sorrow, loneliness and despair.

It is seen that when two people meet, talk or share the bond of love, they often face many challenges in the form of religion, society and family. Even those people who have gone through the same phase at one time or the other in their life, raise objections against their lovers. They forget that they too have gone through this phase of attraction in their past. Suffice to say, in everyone’s life, there comes a day when the dreams turn to reality, the heart becomes the carrier of an avalanche of emotions, and the wave of faith starts flowing to the one person who becomes the centre of your world. The time when a person finds himself tied with an invisible thread of deep emotions. This consciousness begins at a very unique stage of age… Yes! In adolescence…!

This is the time when changes occur in the way of speaking and living. The seeds of attraction begin to sprout in a fickle mind. Friendship gets blurred when someone starts knocking on the doors of the heart. At the same time, the heart becomes an algebraic equation, which keeps searching for that ‘someone in the crowd.

Many childhood love stories start in schools. But now, with the schools shut down indefinitely, many things have changed. Students haven’t been to school for the last 1.5 years. How can they develop these mild ‘crushes’, without any meeting ground? Yes, we have social media where one can still form the connection, albeit virtually, but can it take precedence to real experience? No, it cannot.

The truth is, the Corona pandemic has also affected the sentiments of teenagers, which has gone unnoticed.

Teenagers imprisoned in homes for the past years have been deprived of making beautiful memories in the last days of their school life. They have become self-conscious, anxious, and hopeless. Some of them are getting more and more depressed as they have no one to share their feelings or talk to. While others under the pressure are closing themselves from others and seeking solitude. There is something pure and wonderful with the school crushes. It is an experience of a different level, the existence that fills the teenager with confidence. But to bridge this gap of 1.5 years, we have to start giving priority to the emotions and feelings of the teenagers. Try understanding their mindset to stop them from taking the wrong path. Be their friends but don’t pressurize them. Give them time and trust them. Be strict, but not overbearing. Guide them but let them make their own decisions. Help them differentiate between right and wrong. Give them your attention and love and don’t forget that you also had to cross this stage once in your life.
