Many of our students have problems accessing good wifi in their homes. Here is an article that shows how some schools are attempting to be pro-active with this. I esp. like the idea of maps of local places that have good wifi reception, like local libraries or restaurants.

While I’d put this conclusive list of 11 things just above a Cosmopolitan magazine “quiz” and just below the local newspaper’s Opinion Poll about what type of restaurants the local cuisine scene is missing, it does have a couple of good items.   While my neuroscience is not as cutting edge as it might be (is it just me, or does every study contradict the one before it?), I do like the reminder to try tech from the student perspective before jumping whole hog into it.  And relaxing.  I like relaxing.  How about you — do you have all 11 attributes?  We should make up a Cosmopolitan-style scoring rubric…!
