School technology, from someone who has run it.
Schools have IT needs that most consultants have never seen up close: hundreds of shared devices, a campus full of Wi-Fi, and a school year that can’t stop for an outage. I’ve run all of it.
How I help schools
Jamf and Apple MDM
Jamf Pro and Apple School Manager set up and run: automated enrollment, apps pushed to every device, restrictions by grade, and lost devices locked remotely.
1:1 iPad and Mac programs
Planning, purchasing, deployment and day-to-day support for programs where every student and teacher has a device.
Campus Wi-Fi
Wireless network design that covers every classroom, gym and courtyard, and holds up when 600 students connect at once.
Network security
Firewalls, content filtering, separate networks for students, staff and guests, and accounts locked down properly.
Teacher support and training
Teachers comfortable with their tools, and a student tech team trained to handle the everyday questions.
Ongoing IT management
Regular on-site support, summer refresh projects, and a roadmap so the next purchase is planned, not a scramble.
