Internet in the Classroom..Only a Click Away

Internet access in classroom is becoming not the norm but mandatory in college campuses across the country. However I think wifi in the classroom is encouraging students to bring there laptops to class. Although it has its positives, students are paying less and less attention to there instructors in the classroom because they are to busy surfing the internet. How can a teacher control 20 or 20+ students when they each have a computer in front of there face. Students will be on facebook, rather then listening to the less or lecture being taught. Although to defend students, without computers students tend to daze off every now an then. But if your allowed to have a computer in font of you, it takes a lot of self discipline to not click to espn.com or instant message one of you buddies while you are in class. So with the internet becoming more common in the classroom it creates challenges for teachers and students in a bunch of different ways. But don’t get me wrong internet has its positive influences on a college classroom as well.
