Hotspot Checkout form
by Mark Walters 24 Jun '20

24 Jun '20

Hi, all. Would anyone care to share the forms they use to check out hotspots? We are going to be checking out a few this fall and the administration wants to make sure we have our bases covered--at first, they were concerned students would be using the devices for gambling or pornography, but we'll likely be using a filter that will take care of some of that. Just curious what others are using. Thanks!
