The plan is to use Casper for iOS updates and for apps that are purchased for all the iPads. We will cable sync or push to self service when it is a grade level that is in need of an app. For lack of a better term we created an "image"…"
Sam Gliksman replied to Lorrie Applebey's discussion Profile syncing 300 ipads"Hi Melissa,

Hello all, Our district is working on a Kindergarten iPad initiative. I've set up a "master" ipad with applications neatly sorted into folders (ABCs, Sight Words, Numbers, etc.). I can backup and restore, but that will take an insane amount of time for 300 ipads. Bredford Cart syncing also requires you to manage each individually (thought it will auto sync once established). How can I create new folders and manage apps, music, and PDF distributions efficiently? Thanks,LorrieSee More
