When to Use Shared iPad

Shared iPads are most often used with loaner devices at the elementary and middle school level. They can also be used in a situation where a one or more iPads is being shared between multiple people (usually staff). If you have a situation where an iPad is needed by many people at different times, shared iPad could be a good solution. The big advantage is data is not inadvertently shared between people they shouldn't be. For example, someone forgetting to sign out their email or Google account before passing the iPad off to another person

How Shared iPad Works

Shared iPad is a special mode where multiple people can use the same iPad with entirely separate profiles. User data is secured by a password or passcode. With the district's standard configuration up to 5 people can share one iPad at a time.
