Philadelphia, PA -- Instead of paying attention during class, some students are surfing the net or even playing online poker.University of Memphis law prof June Entman is tired of the distractions, so she's banned laptops in her classroom. And she's not alone. University of Pennsylvania law professor Charles Mooney hasn't allowed a laptop computer in his classes for two years. He says there's been a lot of grumbling and some students have even dropped his course. But Mooney says the students perform better when they have to take notes the old fashioned way.
