DEPT laptop? Minimacs? What's available now?

Thanks for your email, Karen. We are in the middle of the purchase of the minimacs.... Translation: they will arrive during the semester but not at the beginning. So I recommend two options rather than the department laptop (though this is always an option). 1) Your own laptop...nothing more user friendly or available; or 2) Put in a regular AV request for a laptop for every class...this also amps up their demand, which in turn, makes an administrative case for more hardware and smart classrooms.

And remember that if you do wish to use the dept. laptop, sign up now, and check in with Ximena and Kim in terms of the schedule. Also...return in promptly for the next user. there are 10mins between our classes on the scheduling matrix, which means that you must return it in time for the next person to pick it up and get to class. so if you know who comes before and after you and where their classrooms are, crises can be avoided.
