This website talked about whether or not having laptops allowed in the college classrooms is really beneficial to students. Personally I think that having laptops in classrooms is distracting. Not only to other students and the professors but to the student with the laptop. Students are able to get onto the internet therefore, they are probably not paying attention to the lecture. Which, yes is there own fault, but if they hadn't brought their computer to the classroom it wouldn't cause a distraction. Typing is really distracting to those of us in the classroom who are trying to pay attention to the classroom. They keys can be really loud especially for those of us who type very quickly. I think laptops are just disturbing for everyone and I think it is ok for teachers not to allow them in their classrooms.
