All of our students have laptops and we now have a wireless network. I am sure that some students do some browsing, but I do not actively police it. My syllabus says that inappropriate use of technology in class will result in the student being counted as absent. I would enforce this policy if I saw a student clearly browsing. One of our business professors will penalize browsers by not permitting the student to use a computer in class for the rest of the semester.
The rationale is that we are preparing students for the business world and that they need to have good habits for future business meetings. Joe Joseph J. Horton Ph. D.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Jean-Marc Perreault [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 26, 2005 2:03 PM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences Subject: Internet (mis)use in class I'm wondering how many of you are in institutions where wireless internet is widely available. Did you run into issues with students "browsing" during class? How do you deal with that? I have some students who use computers to take notes. Wireless is not yet available here, but there are talks of it, and I'd like to be informed on potential issues before I'm in the middle of a situation. Cell phones are common now, and most students don't need to be told about proper "etiquette". But interent browsing and emailing is much more subtle... Cheers!
