Laptop computers

21 students marked "I sat this"Added 11 Nov 2020Question #120290

Choose the word for each blank.

UMN's ALCs features large 1 tables that seat nine students and can accommodate laptop computers for 2 work. Typically, students bring their own computers to class and use the building's ubiquitous wireless capability. The classrooms are designed to facilitate hands-on activities and problems that require students to interact with each other to reach a solution. Students can display their work on large LCD screens mounted around the room to promote small- and large-group discussions. Each table is allotted three gooseneck microphones so that students can make themselves heard without shouting during group discussions. Additionally, students can press a button on their table console to light a 3 lamp to indicate when they need help or wish to speak. To 4 brainstorming and group reporting, the room is also lined with erasable marker-boards.
