What is the Device Management App (DMA)?
A Device Management Application ("DMA") will be installed on all student-owned chromebook PLDs to be used in the school. The DMA has 3 main components which will support the use of the PLD in the classroom and safeguard students’ cyber wellness:
(a) Classroom Management Service. This enables teachers to manage the students’ use of the PLD during lesson time to improve classroom management and support effective teaching and learning.
(b) Mobile Device Management Service. This facilitates the updating and managing of the PLD, protects the PLD from malicious software, and protects students from objectionable internet content.
(c) Usage Management Service. This enables the school and/or parents/guardians to better supervise and set helpful limits for students’ use of PLD after school.
Please note that the school currently has a Block All Except Whitelist policy in place for all our chromebook PLDs during school hours.
