iPad apps• SNAP-Ed program – nutrition education program for
limited-resource individuals funded by USDA, Food and Nutrition Service

Start With Planning
5
Why We Used a Mobile iPad Laboratory
The original plan was to use sets of laptops, BUT…
• iPads are less expensive than laptops• iPads are lighter in weight than laptops• iPads are easier to manage than laptops
6
Purchasing iPads
AU has purchased more than 600 iPads over the past 3 years.
• Began with 12/educator and kids shared • Built up over time• Now have a mixture of iPad 1s, 2s and 3s
It’s important to understand purchasing policies through your institution
• Bid laws• Sole source vendor• Apple offers discount on 10 iPad bundles

Setting Up Our iPads
25 iPads named
“acesnepXX_[a-y]” comprise a set
One e-mail alias for each
set – [email protected]
One iTunes account for each set
using above alias• “Creating an iTunes account without
a credit card” • Passwords
9
Protection & Transportation• Protect each iPad with individual cases
• OtterBox vs. Inexpensive
• Vaultz case (vaultz.com)• Handles • Combination lock
• Rolling cart for laptops
10
Central Management
Depending on number of iPads, central management can be a good idea
Many different options available• We have used Casper Suite from JAMF (based on NCSU
recommendation years ago)• OSU has used MaaS360• LSU has used AirWatch
Apple’s Device Enrollment Program (DEP) should make enrollment easier
Another budget item!
