Geoboard, by MLC vs Jamf Class Assigner

Geoboard is a tool for exploring a variety of mathematical topics introduced in the elementary and middle grades. Learners stretch bands around the pegs to form line segments and polygons and make discoveries about perimeter, area, angles, congruence, fractions, and more. This virtual version of the manipulative is an open-ended educational tool, ideal for elementary classrooms and other learning environments. FEATURES • Create line segments and polygons by stretching bands around the Geoboard’s pegs. • Choose from 8 different band colors. • Fill individual shapes with a transparent color, or use the Fill All button to toggle all the bands between filled and unfilled. • Switch between the standard 25-peg square board, a rectangular board with 150 pegs, or a circular board with 13 pegs. The circular board enables explorations with angles, fractions, and time measurement. • Duplicate shapes then move, rotate, or flip them to explore symmetry and congruency. • Change the color of selected bands. • Display grid lines with or without numbering to more easily calculate area and identify shape locations. •Hide and reveal work with resizable covers to create your own problems and model strategies. • Use the drawing tools to annotate work and show understanding. • Add equations, expressions, and descriptions with the math text and writing tools. • Share your work by saving an image or providing a share code to others.

When deploying iPad devices at any scale, knowing the end user of the device is an important attribute for scoping content and settings. This has typically been accomplished either by manually assigning after enrollment, or through an authenticated enrollment workflow where the end user is prompted for their username and password. Both methods have their drawbacks; stale data and manual manipulation with the former, and complicated usernames and passwords with the later. Further, the authenticated enrollment flow is great for ensuring security and ease of device assignment, however, it is often difficult for younger users, causing more room for error and lost instructional time. This new workflow improves the overall deployment experience so that a device simply needs to be enrolled into Jamf School or Jamf Pro and dropped off at a classroom or other location. The classroom teacher is then empowered to quickly pull up their live class roster to seamlessly generate a QR code which the student can scan to instantly assign themselves as the device owner. This simple workflow can easily be built upon to leverage the power of Smart Groups to scope content and settings that are specific to that end user, minimizing IT’s time commitment and ensuring instructional time is preserved.
