“Everything that’s already in the world when you’re born is just normal.
Anything that gets invented between then and before you turn thirty is incredibly exciting and creative and with any luck you can make a career out of it.
Anything that gets invented after you’re thirty is against the natural order of things and the beginning of the end of civilization as we know it“ Author - The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxyhttp://www.douglasadams.com/dna/19990901-00-a.html
Douglas Adams

There are three major trends in ICT today and the iPad fits into each of them.
1. Cloud Computing2. Mobile Computing3. BYOD – Bring Your Own
Device
Trends in ICT

a. Infrastructure as a Service IaaSServers in the Cloud - Many school servers will move into the cloud in the next 5 years• Amazon’s Elastic Computing
http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/b. Platform as a Service PaaS
Operating Systems in the Cloud• Microsoft Azure

The iPad
The Post PC era?
Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School
“The need to know the capital of Florida died when my phone learned the answer. Rather, the students of tomorrow need to be able to think creatively: they will need to learn on their own, adapt to new challenges and innovate on-the-fly”
High School Student- Missouri
Anthony Chivetta

Doesn’t mean the PC is dead. We are no longer in a one-to-one world but rather a one-to-many world.The iPad represents a new category
Post PC era
Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School
• Bulk entry of text• Multitasking• Data hungry• Cannot run existing enterprise
software, such as:– Final Cut Pro– PhotoShop– Sibelius.
iPad - Weaknesses
Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School
• Multi-touch, Physics and Gestures (MPG) interface is easier to use
• Mobile not just portable• Built-in sensors allow extensive
possibilities for App development• Apps are more focussed than
traditional enterprise software• Automatic back up to the iCloud
iPad – Strengths
Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School
• Hidden file system• Personal: not multi-user and
generally not shared• Instant on, no boot time lost• Battery life, run all day• Functional eReader
iPad – Strengths
Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School
Deployment Models
Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School
In reference to the decision to go one-to-one with iPads
“The school decided that we had won, even if all we achieved was better communication with students and getting them better organised”
Director of IT – Newington College Sydney
Myles Carrick
Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School
There are three deployment models based around app ownership
1. Personal – Student owns the apps2. Institutional – School owns the apps3. Layered – Mixture of school and student
owned apps
Excellent Apple Resources for Deployment are at http://www.apple.com/education/it
In particular “iOS 5 Education Deployment Guide”
Deployment Models
Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School
Don Tapscott’s findings• Study involving 11,000 children in 12 countries• NetGen – “Bathed in Bits”• The 8 Norms
1. Freedom2. Customization3. Scrutiny4. Integrity5. Collaboration6. Entertainment7. Speed8. Innovation
Net Gen
Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School
1. Personal (Similar to BYOD approach)– Best model for secondary students in 1:1 program– Least restrictive model– Similar to typical consumer experience– iPad could be personal or school owned– Student manages the device’s settings, content and apps
wirelessly– Make configuration as easy as possible. Can use a
Capture Portal and/or Mobile Device Management (MDM) to help student configure the device and redeem apps
– Student use a personal or school supplied iTunes account.– Can use iCloud for backup and Find my iPad
Children under 13 are not legally allowed to have their own iTunes account
Deployment Models
Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School
2. Institutional (Shared)– Best for Primary Levels / Special Ed / Library– Most restrictive– School owned iPads– School iTunes account(s)– School manages the device’s settings and apps– Can deploy apps by using:
• Gifting of Apps• Volume Purchase Program (VPP*)
Gets around age restriction (13 years) for iTunes account
*VPP is coming to Australiahttp://www.apple.com/education/volume-purchase-program/
Deployment Models
Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School
2. Institutional (Shared) continued
– Using Apple Configurator via USB• Single master school iTunes account• Can create multiple templates (SOEs)• Supervise mode prevents configuration changes by the
student• Integrates with Volume Purchase Program (VPP)• Requires Syncing Trolley or USB hub
OR– Using Mobile Device Management (MDM*) via Wireless
• Using Casper, Lion Server etc• Multiple school iTunes accounts, one per device with simple
password• Students generally have to accept configuration profiles.• Volume Purchase Program (VPP)
Deployment Models
Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School
3. Layered (Personal and Shared)– Apple Configurator can be used to “side
load” school apps via USB– Student configures the iPad as a personal
device– Student ends up with a set of school
owned apps and personal apps and data
Children under 13 are not legally allowed to have their own iTunes account
Deployment Models
Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School
Notes– Under the VPP, always purchase apps
in lots of 20 copies to take advantage of education pricing eg cheaper to get 20 copies than 11.
–With gift codes and VPP redeem codes, whoever gets the code owns the app

using champions• Can be supported by students in the classroom

distribution of materials– Can use a computer running OS X
client to share printers and make them available for iPad Bonjour printing
Recommendations
Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School
4. Projection– Are IWBs dead?– Adapter cable– Projection facilities are very important– Cheap solution ~$109 – AppleTV
Connect the ATV to an ethernet port on the same VLAN as the iPad’s wireless.
– Expensive Solution ~$700 - TEQ WID-340http://teqavit.com/
Recommendations
Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School
5. Communication– Email– Google Drive– Google Docs–Wikis–WebDav shared folders on Lion server

etc– Email important documents to the

Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School
7. Textbooks– The iPad supports the most formats and
bookstores.– eBook vs PDF– Books vs Apps– Publishers– Kindle / iBooks– iBooks Author
http://www.apple.com/ibooks-author/– iTunesU – Create and share your own
course materials
Recommendations
Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School
8. Network– Create a great wireless network and
monitor rather than block–Must create a wireless network for both
coverage and capacity–Make connecting to the network as
simple as possible eg Capture Portal– Provide great Internet access to
discourage the use of 3G and 4G–May need to employ a transparent
proxy
Recommendations
Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School
9. Find my iPad– Some wireless systems provide
relatively cheap tools to enable you to locate lost iPads on your property
– Use the free Apple service• Remote messages• Remote wipe
Recommendations

13.Spares– Have some spares for a quick change
over at school.– Can recover to the last iCloud backup
relatively easily
Recommendations
