Detangling with Wireless As a part of Allocations 2000, CIS rolled out wireless technology in the Biology department for use in labs. CCET and ITMC approved 10 iBooks and an Airport base station to be tested in the Biology department this year. Macintosh uses Airport technology, which is an ethernet device that allows users with the airport software and hardware to wander around the surrounding area online, but without wires.
Students are able to take notes while doing experiments without being tied to a specific location.
This is especially convenient in a lab. The wireless laptop lab has been an incredible success according to David Jemiolo, chair of the Biology Department. Marshall Pregnall, who taught Bio151 in the refurbished lab last semester says that the addition of the wireless laptops has improved lab safety amazingly. Before, there were wires to trip over and carts associated with the computers, which are now entirely gone. His favorite thing about them is the small footprint that allows students to maximize their workspace area.
