Today, I finally learned that another issue may have been contributing to my computer woes in SFH 213. Apparently, the IP address pool for wireless network connections at KSU has run out of addresses, but a greater allocation of IP addresses for use on the wireless network should be in place by Monday.
As in my previous SFH classes, my students and I roll with the punches and switch to the tried and true method of writing on paper. With their daily work on pulp, I ask them to type up their scribbling on vista when they are online in the dorms (I wonder if this IP allocation issue is affecting the dorms–I understand that not all students use ethernet). This extra step with writing, as I told my students in that class, may actually help them develop their writing further, because it adds another layer or step to their production of text. I encourage them to consider what they wrote in class and how they can make it better or write it differently when they are transcribing it on vista. Considering this, it will be interesting to see how my two classes develop if the computer connectivity issue continues.
