: The Faculty LoungeSurfing the Net in Class
By Calvin Massey
Saul Levmore, Dean of the University of Chicago Law School, has announced that the school will ban internet access in the classroom to eliminate internet surfing. Ian Ayres (Yale) agrees with this policy, as does Brian Leiter (Chicago). Kevin Yamamoto (South Texas) argues that laptop surfing in class is a significant cognitive impediment. I remain skeptical. Students who do not wish to engage the material will find some method to check out, whether or not they have a laptop handy. Moreover, if you can't make your class more interesting than solitaire or the Drudge Report or the Daily Kos, maybe you should retool your approach to teaching.
