Apple Education

At the heart of everything Apple does is a single vision: to create amazing products that enrich people’s lives. It shapes not only what they make, but how it’s made and what they care about. Apple technology is designed to give students new ways to experience and demonstrate their learning — no matter what type of learners they are.

Aiscorp Education: Apple Device Management

• Are your teachers spending too much time managing your iPads?
• Are staff having to touch every iPad to add a single app?
• Do students lock your iPads with a passcode you don't know? Or delete apps from the iPad?  

Our Aiscorp Education: Apple Device Management solution can address all these issues (and more) using Apple's Managed Software with  a third-party Mobile Device Management System to:  

• Manage student access on the iPads such as hide the App Store, stop students from deleting apps, or adding their own!
• Distribute apps to the iPads over the wireless so teachers no longer need to go to each iPad to install (or remove) apps;
• If iPads are lost or stolen, our solution can track them, lock them, or get them to “beep” so they can be found.

‍Aiscorp Education: Apple Device Management, working with Apple Managed Software, provides affordable and straight-forward management of your iPads (and iMacs and MacBooks too) from purchase right through to the classroom.

Aiscorp makes it easier to be creative with Apple Financial Services and leasing.  

Getting enough devices for your students is often a financial nightmare. Leasing through Apple Financial Services or our finance partner, Ricoh Financing, makes this goal affordable and achievable.

At very affordable interest rates, leasing lets you:  

• Have a fleet of devices that are always current: able to run the latest apps, and receive security updates to keep you and your systems protected  
• Refresh your devices at regular intervals  
• Purchase more devices, or better devices, at the time of renewal for the same budget cost    
• Minimise maintenance costs from dealing with an ageing fleet of devices  
• Distribute the cost of devices across a number of years  
• Have the use of those unused funds over the lease period  
• Budget for a regular, known amount    

Leasing can be either:  

• an operating lease where you plan to return the devices at the end of the lease but still have the option of purchasing at end of lease  
• a finance lease which usually has a higher monthly cost but you own the devices at the end of the lease

For more information about leasing, contact leasing@aiscorp.co.nz

Lighthouse Case Study

Niue sits as a rocky island in the Pacific Ocean, around 3 hours north of Auckland, New Zealand. With a total population of 1500 people on the island, Niue Education Hub supports 400 students attending Niue ECE, Niue Primary School and Niue High School. The schools follow their own curriculum based on the New Zealand Curriculum Framework, with special additions to support the Niuean language.

In 2017, iPads were introduced into Niue Primary School to support student engagement, and literacy and numeracy.  
Working together over two two-hour professional development sessions, teachers upskilled on a range of apps, and identified apps that would immediately fit within the context of their current teaching, and developed approaches and activities that would work with their classes.  

Over the next few days, classes were a hub bub of creative, engaged noise as students developed an iMovie using the context of “Mother’s Day”, with students sharing their trailers with the class using Airplay to the class Apple TV. In other classes, students were using the “Math Slide” apps to develop their numeracy skills, with some public “contests” streamed live to the class Apple TV!

At the end of the week, it was clear to all learners, both teachers and students, that the iPads provide:
- An intuitive interface that teachers and students of any age can grasp quickly and easily
- Access to apps that support both collaborative and individual learning
- Increased student engagement, not just “busyness”
