Apple iPads

Teachers working on Apple iPads

After you have setup Apple School Manager and your Jamf Pro instance there are a couple of steps remaining to set up your iPads for Technology 4 Learning.

Now it's time to unbox and switch on. Follow the steps in the video or follow the instructions below.

1. Ensure you are in a room with access to DETNSW Wi-Fi.

2. iPads out of the box usually come fully charged, but if this isn’t the case, plug them into a power cable.

3. Switch the iPad on.

4. Follow the start-up instructions on the iPad, and once prompted, connect to DETNSW Wi-Fi, using the schools' service account. 

Your iPad should now begin the enrolment process, simply follow the onscreen instructions. This may take some time.

When your iPad is set up, ensure the Wi-Fi proxy settings have been configured correctly. To do this:

  • tap onto the Settings app
  • tap into the Wi-Fi 
  • tap on the ‘blue i’ for your DETNSW network 
  • select ‘Configure proxy’ 
  • tap and set this to ‘Automatic’ 
  • select ‘Save’ in the top-right corner of the screen.

Remember to always use the schools' service account when first connecting to Wi-Fi.

Before you begin there are some things you will need to do to prepare.

Now that your devices are up and running it is time to kickstart your journey with technology in the classroom. Take a peek at these resources packed with top tech tips and tricks to boost your skills in no time.

Apple Teacher Learning Centre is a free professional learning program, while Apple Classroom turns your iPad into a powerful teaching assistant. Guide learning, share work, and manage student devices – all from the same app.

After mastering the basics of your device, explore a new set of resources designed to power your productivity with technology.
