How about teaching students not to distract themselves? I am serious about it. Students are going to live and work with Internet and all distractions. They need this ability that like others it is learned and nurtured. I mean, something like this: http://www.lynda.com/Business-Business-Skills-tutorials/Getting-Things-Done/170776-2.html http://www.lynda.com/Business-Business-Skills-tutorials/Gett... There are lots of good programs out there. Today this knowledge is as important as Mathematics. Probably more important for some people. I have studied a lot in order to be able to work productively from home. It is very easy once you know lots of little things. I could scientifically proof to any person how much she destroys her productivity just multitasking, using very simple things, like video cameras(which everybody has in her phone) and paper, because I have studied the psychology that fools ourselves into believing we could watch facebook and a lecture at the same time. In my experience teaching people this works wonders. Without it, they are lost. They want something(get good grades, work with less effort), but they don't know how to do it. About a programming class without computers, I will fire the teacher whose idea is banning laptops instantly. I am engineer and program computers for a living, with experience teaching people. They are incompetent if they can't control students with computers. If they are so boring the students prefer to browse Internet in class, then the problem is the teacher, not the student.
