I would look out at all those kids in that big lecture hall just passively sitting there. I thought there was something terribly wrong with that.
Science is active.
Lagowski found terminals in the Education department and began to experiment on their TRS-80 computers, with their 8K memory and huge rolls of Teletype paper. The next thing I knew the chemistry students had overrun the lab and were seen having animated discussions about chemistry over printouts on big rolls of paper. I knew that we were on to something. From the early days of lonely experimentation to the explosion of the Web, UT faculty have adopted technology into their work to enrich the learning environment and to save time. That got their attention.
