User scenario
Our teachers and students use iPads regularly. Teachers use Apple Classroom to manage digital experiences with students, completing creative tasks such as filmmaking with iMovie and Clips, digital drawing with Tayasui Sketches School, and creating amazing presentations and digital books with Keynote and Pages. But these devices are starting to get old and we need replacements.
We considered other devices, but the portability, durability and suitability for our school’s learning needs, meant the decision to choose iPads again was easy. With Jamf Pro management licenses included, maintaining our fleet is a breeze.
Finally, as our students and teachers store most of their work in the cloud, the base iPad’s 64GB of storage is all we need!

User scenario
We have a successful BYOD iPad program and are keen to provide the opportunity for students to take their skills to the next level with a mobile multimedia lab. Students can complete simple tasks on their own devices, but we need high performance devices for them to explore the full range of graphics, music and video creation, using industrystandard programs.
The MacBook Air ticks all these boxes and will help to make this lab mobile. Whilst in the past the management of these devices would have made this choice difficult, the inclusion of Jamf Pro management means we can now manage both our iPads and Macs from the one console.

Monitors
Are you keen to empower your students’ high-end tasks with a larger screen size? Older VGA monitors (analogue) are not really suited to newer desktops that expect higherresolution digital displays. It might be time to invest in a new monitor for your devices (confirm that the included cables will meet your needs, an adapter may be required).
Monitors come equipped with:
y Power and video cables
y Can be secured with a cable lock to ensure security
y Some (check the tick boxes) can also swivel to portrait mode perfect for coding and computational tasks that require the simultaneous viewing of many lines of text
Remember monitors will require:
y Connected desktop or notebook
y Wired power
y An appropriate video cable connected to the device (confirm that the included cables will meet your needs)
22 inch and 24 inch monitors are great for:
y All basic productivity tasks
y Locations and labs where space is at a premium

Chromebooks
Chromebooks have really taken off across NSW public schools in the past few years. It makes sense when they combine an easily shareable, locally manageable, totally portable device that effectively does what most people use devices for – accessing the Internet.
What exactly is a Chromebook?
y A Chromebook is a unique computing device that runs browser based tools and web apps with super efficiency
y Chromebooks do not run the Windows operating system, Windows apps or installed programs
y Running Chrome OS means that for the majority of basic tasks they are simple, fast and effective
y These devices have the performance to complete:
y Classroom tasks including accessing and utilising the online versions Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace
y Online creative activities
y STEM activities including online coding activities
Chromebooks come equipped with:
y A pressure resistant 11.6”, 13” or higher (diagonal) touch screen with included stylus for digital inking out of the box
y Fully convertible and can be rotated 360 degrees to be both a notebook and tablet ready for mobile learning as well as keyboard heavy tasks
y Shock-absorbent rubberised bumpers to increase durability
y A Chrome Management Console license for the DoE Chrome Google domain
y A much faster processor, more memory and storage to suit power-users of Chrome OS
Device Management:
y Simple enrolment into the department’s Google domain
y Students and staff sign-on using their DoE user account to access Google Workspace and Microsoft 365
Limitations:
y Connection to eT4L fileshares and printers may be restricted

User scenario
We are after a fleet of shared devices that students can access quickly and easily to complete a range of everyday learning tasks. From online collaboration in Google Workspace to the use of creativity tools like Canva for Education. Our teachers use Google Classroom to coordinate learning in our school, and we are keen to get the maximum devices with our allocation.
With a simple and super-fast login experience, Chromebooks are perfect for our shared device environment, and it is a bonus that they work so well with Google Workspace tools! The Base devices have cameras and touch screens that our model of learning demands, as well as battery life that will last our entire school day. They may not have the full feature set of a Windows or Mac device, but they meet our needs perfectly.

Try the T4L Devices Calculator!
Schools that receive larger T4L unit allocations might like to use this handy T4L Devices Calculator in Excel to help them determine exactly how many of each device they can order to appropriately consume all their T4L units. When you’ve determined exactly how many of each device you want, you can transpose those numbers into your T4L school order form.
Here’s a scratch form to scribble your numbers on:
