SkieHow do we set up 500 student tablets?
Create the structure first, then provision tablets in batches. Set up the school, branch and groups, add the students, and set up each tablet with a one-time token using the Skie Provision app or a laptop. Each tablet binds to one student. A bulk student upload is not available yet, so students are added in the dashboard.
Five hundred tablets is a process, not a single step, and the order matters. Start with structure: the organisation, school and branch, then a group for each class or batch. Give each group a policy and an app list, because the readiness gate will not let a group provision until it has both.
Next, add the students and place them in groups. A bulk student upload is not available yet, so this is done in the dashboard, and it is something the team is working on. Move students singly, or in bulk by selecting existing students.
Each tablet needs to be freshly set up or reset, with no Google account. A provisioning session is opened per group. For each device, an enrolment token is created for one time use and fetched automatically, and the model and licence are checked. You provision with the Skie Provision app on a phone over Wi-Fi pairing, or from a laptop with adb and one pasted command. Live progress and failure reasons show on screen, and a reset device is recognised by its IMEI or serial, so it never takes a second seat.
Licences are seat based, one per device, and the owner grants seats before you begin.
The practical shape that works: set up a station with power strips, a Wi-Fi network and one or two trained people, and run the tablets through by group. After each group, check the compliance score and the online count before you hand tablets out.
Run a pilot of one class first. The first group always finds the surprises, such as a missing app or a Wi-Fi password, and fixing them early saves time on the other twenty groups.
