About this episode

The episode discusses the App Catalog tool for educators and the Matter Innovation Hubs operated by Jamf.

Educators: ever wonder why certain apps are on your classroom iPads? App Catalog shows you the why behind every app, plus how other teachers use them. We also discuss Jamf's Matter Innovation Hubs - free community learning centers operated in collaboration with Jamf in the US and internationally.
