...University of Chicago’s lead, GChatting in lecture could soon become a thing of the past. The University of Chicago Law School has blocked wireless Internet access in most classrooms “in order to ensure the value of the classroom experience,” a press statement released by the school reported earlier this month. “Visitors to classes, as well as many of our students, report that the rate of distracting Internet usage during class is astounding,” Dean of the Law School Saul Levmore wrote in an e-mail...
