Today we ran into our first snag with the iPads. I took them into the classroom for use but I could not get the airport to work. We do not have wi-fi throughout the building so we use an airport that travels with our cart and iPads. We plug it into the internet and that provides localize wi-fi for that area. Anyway, this morning the airport was continually blinking amber. It should be green if it is working properly. So I tried unplugging and re plugging, and some other quick fixes, but nothing worked. So technology came over to look at it. It seems that the configuration set up with the port had been erased. It was not working correctly after that was reconfigured either, though. They took it with them to try some things, so we are without iPads today. I feel really bad for the teacher who had created a great lesson using them today. This is what I hate about technology!!! While I love so many things about it, when it doesn't work, it can completely ruin your day. I will let you know what we do to fix it.
Fixed!!!
Technology brought it back this afternoon working. The problem is...well we don't know. They have no idea why or how the configuration was deleted. Hopefully it is a fluke. If that is the case we won't need to worry about it, if not we will have to figure out what the problem is.
The fix, creating a new configuration on the airport and setting it up.
