A week ago I spent 5 hours at one of our local schools playing with Apple's new tool for managing iPads - Apple Configurator. I have to say that it was time well spent - I can see this being a viable tool for school districts struggling with managing large numbers of iOS devices. Adding a temporarily free app has to happen both in your iTunes AND the Configurator while it is free. If you add it in iTunes and forget to add it to Configurator, when you go back it will tell you there are 0 codes. An iOS device can only be displayed in one of the Apple programs at a time; if it isn't displaying here, make sure you have iTunes & the iPhone Configuration Tool shut down. To use the Supervise mode, you have to setup up AND mark your "template" device as supervised from the beginning. http://wafflebytes.blogspot.com/2012/05/ipads-in-education-apples-configurator.html

"A hundred years from now, it will not matter what kind of car I drove, what kind of house I lived in, how much money I had in the bank...but the world may be a better place because I made a difference in the life of a child." -- Forest Witcraft http://ipadeducators.ning.com/
