Homework:

1. Blog Entry - The Wireless Campus

Notebookreview.com listed the Top 10 Wireless Campuses in 2005, which was a "watershed" year for wireless academic networks. They wrote, "It's very important to be connected to the web while on campus as universities move more and more to distributing grades, class material and even full class lectures online.  So which university makes it easiest to send an email to your professor while eating lunch in the student union?" Trinity was listed among the Top Ten, as Jared mentioned during the server room tour. Make a brief blog entry about how and when you use Trinity's wireless network. Is is a social distraction (Facebook, email) or an academic help (homework, lecture notes)? Include a hyperlink to another blog, on-line article, or other resource about wireless networks on college campuses.
