My daughter graduated from Miss Porter’s last year. I watched the evolution of basically no laptops in classes her freshman year to pretty much everyone using them for note taking by her junior year - the English department really embraced it. The catalyst was when the campus went completely wireless. When I sat in on an English class, a question came up and the teacher asked the class to google something. Sharing of class notes was frequent and in English most exams and papers were submitted electronically. My daughter thrived in this environment and it became a key question on her college tours.
