Greg’s Blog – principal (le?) learning

This quote stood out to me in the context of the ULearn Conference I am at in ChCh.

Nearly 75% of US college students believe WiFi access on their college campus helps them get better grades, according to a recent survey conducted for the Wi-Fi Alliance.

Wakefield Research polled 501 US college students in September 2008 and found that nine out of ten say Wi-Fi access is as essential to education as classrooms and computers, while nearly three in five say they wouldn’t go to a college that doesn’t have free Wi-Fi. Almost 80% percent said that without Wi-Fi access, college would be a lot harder.

I must admit that I certainly feel it if I am away from wireless internet access for too long. It is good to make the choice at times but it is difficult to do my job without it.
