Wireless in the Classroom
The 21st Century network initiative provides nearly ubiquitous wireless network access to the UW-Madison campus. Anyone with a wireless laptop and NetID can access the Internet without being tied to a physical network jack.
The majority of eligible UW-Madison buildings and classrooms now have wireless access. Many people use these wireless access points in a given day, not just students in a classroom but other staff and faculty in the building. As such, classroom wireless access cannot be “turned off” for a particular classroom. While this opens up many new opportunities for anywhere, anytime learning for students, it also creates new classroom dynamics. The following links may help you prepare for teaching and learning in a wireless-enabled classroom.
