The Agency has provided a growing number of employees with mobile hotspots or cellular service on their iPads. Please be aware that using these in places with existing wireless networks can cause those networks to perform poorly. So if you are in a partner school, please use their wireless connectivity as opposed to turning on your mobile hotspot or using your iPad as a hotspot. The school's tech support department (and all their students and staff) will greatly appreciate it. This also holds true in Heartland facilities.
Just as in movie theaters and on airplanes, where they ask you to shut off your cell phones, please remember to do the same with your mobile hotspots when you enter a building with a wireless network. For an iPad with cellular service, you can leave the iPad on, but please make sure that you go to the settings control panel and turn off the "Personal Hotspot" feature. Failure to do so will likely cause the existing wireless network to not perform well. Just as an FYI, some districts have features in their wireless networks to find mobile hot spots and turn them off. If your iPad is turning off unexpectedly, that could be the reason.
