As participants of the iPad Symposium may be discovering, wireless network connectivity is currently lagging. Many people are experiencing difficulty connecting to the wifi network. Others are having trouble loading web pages quickly. This is most likely the result of adding 150+ devices to the wireless infrastructure at the Student Union. In a lot of cases, many people are attempting to download apps that they are discovering in sessions to their iPads. As you can imagine, when 150 people try downloading apps at the same time on the same network, you are going to notice performance issues. This is why the Center for Literacy asked you to review the schedule prior to attending and download the recommended apps before you came to campus.
While we are extremely happy that you are all finding great new apps to try in your classroom, we ask that you are understanding of the situation and try to keep the network bandwidth free for more essential tasks like web browsing, social networking access & updates, etc... All the apps our presenters are sharing are listed in the online schedule and you will be able to download them after the Symposium concludes.
