No laptop in the classroom equals less distraction, more work

I have a confession. Last semester, I visited Facebook during class. I shopped for shoes, checked my email and even chatted with a sibling (while she was at work in Florida). Of course, I occasionally took notes and even looked up from time to time so that I would appear attentive. I am not the only one. I can see that my classmates are equally distracted with email and Facebook; one even designs t-shirts during Torts.
