March's iPad Tip
Creating Base Jamf Teacher Lessons
Reason: With Jamf Teacher being extremely powerful with its ability to block all websites besides the ones you specifically list, this can cause issues when websites redirect to different URLs. Additionally, websites for Students may be different than their Teacher counterparts! This all can lead to unexpected issues with websites being blocked when they should be!
Status: The website for these lessons is live! Go ahead and visit This Link with your iPad to find a full store of Jamf Teacher Lessons that you can download and play around with! Reminder: Jamf Teacher does not care if the student devices are in your class. You CAN place restrictions and disrupt other classes if using Jamf Teacher outside of your respective class!

February's iPad Tip
Some Student iPads are Not Receiving Jamf Teacher Restrictions
Cause: There was a bug in iPadOS 16 that caused some iPads to lose their MDM key, effectively cutting communication to Jamf School.
Status: We are currently only seeing 1-2% of devices still not pulling their MDM key. These devices will eventually pickup Apple's iOS 17.1.2 update but if they ultimately don't, the Techs / TSS will be able to update the iPad in person and resolve these iOS 16 issues! (03/04/2024)

January's iPad Tips
Some Student iPads are Not Receiving Jamf Teacher Restrictions
Cause: There was a bug in iPadOS 16 that caused some iPads to lose their MDM key, effectively cutting communication to Jamf School.
Status: We are currently in the process of updating all iPads to iPadOS 17.2. This update was pushed over our previous break and will properly restore iPads that are missing their MDM key. Mass iPadOS updates typically take 30-45 days for full environment saturation. You can continue to use Apple Classroom for classroom management until iPads are updated and restore MDM communication.
