Apple doesn't make it any easier by dribbling out these iOS updates. A setting to turn off iPad updates would be helpful to schools.

There is no organizational way to manage iTunes users that I have found.  Until that is in place I would be very leery of going that route.    

But to be truthful I have spent the last several weeks cursing Apple as I have been attempting to build a decent workflow to manage the iPads we have in our school.  I have an apple configurator/Meraki combination and still not happy.

While I realize that most of our schools are Google Apps schools, I'm curious about whether anyone is considering using iCloud with students and/or faculty.  According to the Terms, students under 13 can have access as long as their accounts were requested by an educational institution.  I'm most interested in understanding how it would work logistically with iPads and laptops/desktop usage.  Thoughts?
