What is education deployment?

Education deployment is the process that technology managers and technical administrators follow to deploy Apple devices successfully—from deploying shared devices in individual classrooms to deploying one-on-one devices throughout a district.

Note: This guide focuses on K–12 and higher educational organizations in the United States. Not all features and services are available in other countries or regions.

Use Apple School Manager to help integrate iPad and Mac into your environment and streamline your deployment.
