It's the usual suspects--students are abusing classtime to gamble in online casinos, plan keggers over IM, and take so many notes that they...er...Don't listen? (I don't know much about stenographers, but apparently they ain't too bright.) I guess I can symphathize with <a href="http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/laptops/more-profs-ban-laptops-in-class-171397.php">Intern Travis</a> here. After all, if a prof is okay with my bringing in an inflatable child's wading pool, filling it full of frat punch and getting s-faced during his PowerPoint, then I can't imagine what the heck his problem is with just finishing a few levels in WoW. I mean, it's not like we're using hair dryers in the bathtub or anything. Geez, profs be so uptight sometimes. http://kairosnews.org/profs-tell-students-where-to-store-their-laptops#comments higher education portable computing Wed, 3 May 2006 18:15:50 -0400 platypus matt 4702 at http://kairosnews.org
