Jamf Parent and Jamf Teacher Updates to Empower Remote, Hybrid and In-Person Learning
April 14 2021 - 11:00AM
Jamf, the standard in Apple Enterprise Management, recently
announced exciting new functionality aimed at supporting teachers,
parents and students. After a year of attending and teaching remote
and hybrid classrooms, students and teachers across the globe
learned technology was an essential part of education, regardless
of the location of students and teachers. As many classrooms move
to a hybrid model, the devices deployed to students and
teachers in 2020 will continue to be put to use. That is why
Jamf is continuing to innovate to the Jamf Parent and Jamf
Teacher apps.
Jamf Teacher App brings class management
to Macs for Jamf School - The Jamf Teacher
app has historically focused on the management of iOS and iPadOS
devices. With the new update, Jamf is extending key capabilities
of Jamf Teacher to Macs, ensuring
that teachers can enhance remote classes and keep
students focused on learning, regardless of device type. Now
there is an easy way to bring classroom management to student Macs,
both M1 and intel-based, and IT admins have the ability to
streamline their school’s entire Apple ecosystem. Jamf is thrilled
to offer schools, teachers, and IT admins these key capabilities to
enhance remote, hybrid and in-person learning as students continue
to use their school-issued Apple devices in the classroom. This new
capability for Jamf Teacher for Jamf School to Macs will be
available for download in the App Store soon.
Jamf Parent Android App for
Jamf Pro and Jamf School - In an
effort to improve educational equity, Jamf now empowers even more
parents to become active partners in their students learning by
offering an Android version of the Jamf Parent app
for both Jamf School and Jamf Pro. Parents using Android
devices now have the opportunity for control and oversight into
their students’ school-issued Apple devices to monitor
student safety and access to online content.
This new feature is available thanks to Jamf Nation users
identifying this gap between students using school-issued Apple
devices and parents using their personal Android devices at
home. The Jamf Parent app is available for download
today in the Google Play store.
“COVID-19 awakened the world to the importance of tech devices
in the hands of students and how these devices can overcome equity
barriers that were prevalent even before COVID. As classrooms open
again, these devices will remain in use,” said Sam Johnson, Chief
Customer Officer, Jamf. “It's important for parents
to have the ability to manage their child’s school issued device to
help focus learning by restricting apps, websites, social media,
and device functionality. Extending the capability of the Jamf
Parent App for all parents, increases parental engagement, online
safety and social and emotional welling of students as schools work
with parents toward shared goals.”
