| TAC | Medical School |
| corkboards if an assignment changed, a scrap of paper went up: "Seniors IV.2 Coughlin: read pp 2-4 for Monday" | Blackboard 9 supposed to facilitate spreading of information...guess there's a learning curve |
| chalkboards there are two whiteboards on campus, but we don't talk about that. | huge screens these project the powerpoint, the lecturer, and anything else they want (qrayon it up!) |
| pens and paper even Aristotle would know what to do. | laptops, iPads, tablets the "old school" people type. all the cool people use styluses or their fingers. |
| "no recording devices are permitted" in the classrooms | every lecture recorded and posted "within 24 business hours" |
| books my last semester, the dean reviewed a request to allow kindles. the answer was a diplomatic "no." | bootlegged ebooks I have bought ONE physical book for my medical education. I have, like, sixteen ebooks. |
| class of <20 | class of 200 and I realize this is a step down for some of my peers... |
| you can see everybody and be heard from everywhere in the classroom | we videoconference with a location 100 miles away, and have to use microphones to be heard |
Fascinating. Which venue better facilitates education? Hm...
