Jennifer Nolan Jackson replied to brad wright's discussion Syncing multiple iPads to one computer"Apple's Volume Purchasing is incredibly important. It not only gives you a 50% on most apps but your treasurer can provide better purchasing details to state auditors. Auditors hate iTunes cards because you can't track spending.

Robert Grimes replied to brad wright's discussion Syncing multiple iPads to one computer"I used a grant to purchase an iPad cart that syncs up to 30 iPad at a time. I established an iTunes account for the cart and all the iPad sync and update when I turn on the computer dedicated to the cart. I wish I could do this with my…"

John J Caprice replied to brad wright's discussion Syncing multiple iPads to one computer"Sorry Dean,
Ergotron could care less about their plastic cart solution, they do have some really cute videos though. They have a compact and mobile solution. However the doors do not fully open flush and are in the way, they will break if…"
Joseph Dioguardi replied to brad wright's discussion Syncing multiple iPads to one computer"While there is no technical need for volume purchasing, if you are using 20 iPads you need to buy 20 licenses to be legal even if you redeem only one. The ASVPP gives a 50% discount on 20+ licenses on any app."
Robert Grimes replied to brad wright's discussion Syncing multiple iPads to one computer"I purchase the app on the computer I have dedicated to my iPad cart and I only pay for the app one time and download to all iPads in the cart. No need for volume purchasing. "
Deborah Dubb replied to brad wright's discussion Syncing multiple iPads to one computer"I have used the apple volume purchasing program and bought 20 apps which have to be installed on 20 iPads. But I found that if you turn on automatic downloads on each iPad , they get installed automatically on all the iPads that have the same apple…"
Joseph Dioguardi replied to brad wright's discussion Syncing multiple iPads to one computer"In the 20 iPads scenario you buy 20 licenses for an app from the Apple Store Volume Purchasing Program and redeem one of the licenses to one iTunes account. You can then sync the 20 ipads to one computer using a usb hub or the Apple/Bretford…"
Christopher Casal replied to brad wright's discussion Syncing multiple iPads to one computer"In that case you'll have to do a multi-sync and then have the students use either Safari or the GMail app to access email.
If you are cloning the devices I don't think you can have different email configurations (although I could be…"
Kim Beiderman replied to brad wright's discussion Syncing multiple iPads to one computer"Yes, but I still want them all to have the same apps in the same organizational folders."
Christopher Casal replied to brad wright's discussion Syncing multiple iPads to one computer"If it's 1:1 there shouldn't be an issue. Each student has their own device which no other student will use.
In addition, with iOS 5 there is no need to sync to a computer iTunes account anymore.
Worst case, have them access…"
Kim Beiderman replied to brad wright's discussion Syncing multiple iPads to one computer"I saw your other reply. Thank you! (and sorry for cross-posting). We are using the iPads in a 9-12 ESL class 1:1, so they all have GMail accounts. So, I see what your saying and I'll stew on it a bit. We did lose data from a non-sign in app…"
Christopher Casal replied to brad wright's discussion Syncing multiple iPads to one computer"I posted a more detailed response in the Cloning thread, but generally in a cart situation they are not student-specific iPads but rather generic devices meant for sharing so there is no unique mail/photos data and apps like Evernote are either…"
