Put the power in your teachers’ hands by enabling them to manage the student devices in their classrooms using various tools available including Apple Classroom, Jamf Teacher and Jamf Student app. Pass this power to parents outside of school hours using the Jamf Parent app to ensure e-safety and focus remains on learning at home.
Apple Classroom
Classroom is a powerful app for iPad and Mac that helps you guide learning, share work and manage student devices. Teachers can launch a specific app, website or textbook page on any iPad in the class or all of them at once. Teachers can see which apps students are working on, mute student devices, reset student passwords and lock devices allowing you to bring students’ attention back to the class.
Jamf Teacher
Enhance classroom management with the Jamf Teacher app gives teachers the tools to manage their class and keep students focused. Teachers can easily create lessons, communicate with students and instantly restrict what apps, websites and device functionality during the class.
Jamf Student
With the Jamf School Student app, students can communicate with teachers and install apps from the school’s curated App Store.
Jamf Parent

Parents then have the ability to limit apps and device functionality on their child’s device. Create custom rules with the simple step-by-step wizard.
