Jamf Teacher is a free mobile device, computer, and web application that teachers can use to manage student devices in the classroom.
When integrated with Jamf Pro, Jamf Teacher allows teachers to manage student devices in the classroom using the classes and lessons features:
- Classes —Classes are groups of students assigned to a teacher that the teacher can manage. Assigned classes are classes created in Jamf Pro that are assigned to the teacher. These classes appear in the Jamf Teacher sidebar.
- Lessons —Lessons allow teachers to configure which apps, websites, resources, and built-in apps students can use during lessons such as Math or English, ensuring students only access apps and websites that are related to the subject they are currently learning. When creating lessons, teachers can also add lesson resources such as websites, Google Drive, or Dropbox. Lesson resources are available to students while the lesson is active.
Integrating Jamf Teacher with Jamf Pro allows administrators to limit the management capabilities of Jamf Teacher by doing the following:
Configure how long Jamf Teacher restrictions can be set on student devices
Configure the time at which restrictions applied by Jamf Teacher end
Remove restrictions set by Jamf Teacher using the "Remove restrictions set by Jamf Teacher" mass action or remote command
Note:If an administrator and teacher both set restrictions on the same student's device, the student's device will accept the most restrictive settings. Restrictions are set via mobile device configuration profiles created in Jamf Pro.
