| Comments about INCLASS student use of computers? | |
| Its the greatest idea, however maybe there could be more interaction with the computers during the lectures requiring students to do something specific with the lecture and their computer. | GOOD POINT. That was my plan but it was difficult enough to get the computers going in class. |
| At first it was hard to figure what exactly you wanted us to do but then i figured it out and evrything was fine. But sometimes because there are different versions of the programs and the directions would not really work. | YEP, different versions, that appears to have become the scourge of doing computers in any course now. |
| I don't have a laptop, so for me it was really just a waste of time when other students needed help | YEP, a real problem and I don't know what to do. |
| LOVED IT!! I thought taking notes and being able to follow along online w/ my computer was the best. | That was part, the other part did not really happen the way that I wanted, namely interaction. |
| Seemed like a good idea, but not everyone can obviously do it. I didn't have a lab-top for example. | |
| Ehhh...did not work out so well. I think it would have been a lot better had we started bringing them in the beginning. I think it is definitely a good idea, but a little hard to pull off (various computer problems resulted in a lot of lost time) | Agreed about starting out with them. That now can happen given that the technology problems are mostly solved. |
| I don't think it is very effective to have them bring computers to class, because technical problems, and then at home u don't remember how u got to that point in class | Agreed, but others have commented that having notes about what to do and then going home results in the same memory problems. |
| NA | |
| Good. I didn't use my computer in class. | Interesting comment. |
| I don't really care. Just as long as you know that all the kids that brought computers simply surfed the internet the whole class period. | A BIG PROBLEM. As long as it does not disturb others, I don't care but at times there seemed to be a distraction to the whole class. |
| interesting, fun, and taught some kids | |
| Like it, should have more computer areas to hook up to, not all computers work with the card. | I probably have to have both ethernet and wireless access to try to solve that problem. |
