Did You Know About Technology on College Campuses?

Did you know about technology on college campuses?

While I'm sure it varies from campus to campus, technology on a college campus is important. For example, at the campus we just toured, incoming students receive a Mac laptop and their choice of either an iPhone, iPad, or iTouch. Each building is set up with some sort of technology to allow students to interact even in the classroom (that part I was not clear on, but it seems like there are three different formats used, including flat screens in the front of the room.) Also, nearly all buildings are set up with a printer so that students can send their papers to any of those available printers in any building (in essence you can pick up your homework on any of the hp printers available on your way to class.) I think it's pretty great and a necessary part of their lives now. I'm glad it's all included in tuition.

in a way it's good. kids do need to learn to use technology. I wonder though about having something printed out and then someone picks it up before you can get to it. not sure how that all works.....
