Today’s Apple announcements were awesome. New iOS, new iPad, updates everywhere, and so much more! But how did this new “Configurator App” slip by unnoticed. this will be a great help to educators deploying iPads.
Today Apple released a free Mac App called Configurator which lets you administer multiple iOS devices at the same time. Perfect for schools!
This is the app you need to deploy your iPads at your school and it’s easy to use. You can deploy iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touch devices in mass. You can set up 30 at a time and quickly at that. Configure settings, install apps, set preferences, you name it.
Download Configurator at the Mac Appl Store here.
