Why not look at that tired old and long forgotten measuring stick. Grades. Isn’t the proof in the pudding?

In all of this you never really mentioned how the students are scoring on their tests or how classes are grading out over time? How are they doing compared to the pre-WIFI years (assuming you’ve been teaching that long).

You said it yourself, “your funeral”. If they are screwing around shouldn’t their grades be suffering? Shouldn’t it be obvious (by midterms at least) if they are not paying attention? At least it’s a quantifiable measure.

shrug.. 2 cents..
