At Taylor University all of our classrooms have wireless. This fall we began encouraging faculty to take advantage of the fact that 95% of TU students have a laptop to turn their classroom into a "computer lab" on those days when they want to give a Blackboard exam, etc. Several have done this successfully with classes as large as 25-30 students. An accounting professor had her students bring in their laptops all semester long to work on in-class Excel problems. We have found that our wireless supports an entire classroom of laptops for these types of applications. For those few students who don't have a laptop (generally 2-3 in a class) the ETC has a handful of loaners.
Do we have faculty struggling with the issue of students multitasking with their laptops? Certainly, and it's an ongoing discussion. Professors establish various laptop guidelines to suit their teaching styles. We're working hard to help faculty view student laptops as an asset and not a threat. Think back to the electronic calculator in secondary math classes in the 80's.
This is really awesome that everyone has laptop in classrooms and instead of going to computer lab the students can connect to internet right from their chairs. this is literally inspiring thing for students.

What hardware is necessary to plug into a classroom wireless network?
I'm upgrading my laptop with a wireless notebook adapter, and buying the router, for my home wireless network. What I need to know is what hardware I need to connect to the wireless network in class? I see kids using an adapter, which they plug in to the outlet. Does this come with the router, or is this a separate purchase? I'm going to be installing a pc card, not a usb device to upgrade. Thanks for any information.

Can one laptop supply another laptop with internet if both are on and wireless? (Running Windows XP)
One laptop is plugged into the network through a broadband modem. It has wireless ability and so does the other.

It is really amazing and a nice environment seeing a classroom with all students having a wireless laptop on their own. I think this will help also the teacher to lessen their workloads. But make sure to block all the online game..lol

You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be really something that I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and very broad for me. I'm looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!

If you choose to buy a wireless laptop computer with an Intel processor, it is likely to cost you some extra money. Any wireless laptop computers purchased should have a processor that is fast.

Laptops are big help. All informations are there and they are all available. Especially now knowing that there's wireless.

I think that's a good idea. Wireless laptops, it will be a big help but i think it will be very expensive.
