Meraki Mobile Device Managment

We use Meraki as our "Mobile Device Managment" System. This system makes it easier to manage the growing number of mobile devices coming to school each day. Here is a rundown on how it works.

Students receive a link by email to enroll in Meraki Systems Manager. When they tap the link it prompts them to install a “Profile” on their iPad. The profile is a collection of settings that allow us to perform some functions on a class set of iPads. It does not wipe the iPad, but may result in apps, music, movies or TV shows that don’t meet “allowed content ratings” being removed. (That content is still tied to your Apple ID so it will still be viewable from other devices.) The profile allows us to remotely configure iPad settings for use at St. Clare, to gather some basic information about the iPad, and to deploy apps.
