Here are some vague directions for getting the Meraki MDM app setup. This is best done at school, on campus – it’s easier for some technical reasons that way.
Find the app Meraki MDM
If your screen says “Joined to” and then either “All iPads” or “Faculty”, then you are done. It’s already setup. Thank you!
If it asks you WHICH network to join, then select “All iPads”.
There will be SEVERAL dialog boxes pop up with two choices each time – basically YES or NO, although they phrase it differently every time.
YES, allow each one.
When it asks about allowing Meraki to run in the background all the time, YES allow it.
If it asks about location services, YES, allow it.
You know you have successfully completed the setup when the screen says you have joined “All iPads” network.
Here are two reviews of ipad keyboards that have received a favorable writeup. Unfortunately they are on the expensive side – unless you can find one on sale.
The Apple Bluetooth keyboard works very well but is pricey [we have two available for use in the library].
The iPad guy uses a Mathias One keyboard, and is impressed with it [but it is NOT battery powered, and requires a USB power source. On the other hand, it can also be used with a laptop/desktop.] On the OTHER other hand, it’s only $29 from MacSales.
