My main use case for Jamf School is managing devices in our classrooms. I was a campus tech at one point and we used it to help deploy software to our different devices, control where the devices were, and keep track of them. Because we are an iPad and Mac school district, we used Jamf School for device management, classroom management, and some student tools. In the classroom, we used Jamf School to manage activities that the students were doing to keep them focused and engaged. We would use it to build a classroom for them so the teacher could control what they were doing on their iPads, watch them, engage with them, and work with them as they processed through the different steps that were assigned to them. In addition to my main use case with Jamf School, we also used it for device management to remotely manage their apps, do updates on all of the Apple devices in the classroom, make sure that everybody was kept up to date, and keep track of where they were.
We already have Jamf School and are managing all of our iPads, with approximately 300 iPads under management. We attempted to push the Classroom and Teacher apps, but the additional workload on teachers led them to delegate device management to the IT department while they focus on using the iPads themselves rather than managing Jamf Teacher. Since Jamf Teacher requires teachers to be outside the classroom, and our elementary school teachers observe everything happening in the room with the students, they do not need a tool to observe while inside with the children. We use a platform called Seesaw while students use that app on their iPads. All work completed during the day and any activities are shared with parents at home, which provides an amazing reflection of what students are doing in class. Parents can see and interact with the content as well. Seesaw is used extensively on the iPads for all activities and sharing with parents, which has led us to receive many comments about how beautiful the learning experience parents are having with their children at school.
Jamf School serves as my MDM solution for managing iOS device testing and enterprise app development. It has been instrumental in helping me push internal builds, manage app configurations, Wi-Fi, and certificate profiles to test devices without manual setup. For the payments SDK's flow, particularly Apple Pay and app switch scenarios, Jamf School has helped me validate how apps behave on supervised and managed devices where restrictions, VPN certificates, or app policies may affect the flow. This has been especially useful in testing certificate-based authentication, zero-touch device provisioning, and remote app updates. I am using it directly in my project and interact with the public cloud-hosted environments for the APIs and tokenization services. As a developer, this helps me validate that the SDK communicates with the cloud-hosted backend. I am currently using it in the cloud-hosted environment only, but in my private project.
