I do not allow students to use computers when I am talking unless they are doing something with me. In that case, I walk to the back of the room so I have a good view of all monitors. When I am talking from the front of the room, I ask them to put up keyboards. Well, apparently I can't forbid daydreaming...
This morning, I explained what was due next week (auditory learners), displayed the course calendar (visual learners), and then asked them what was due, receiving a chorus response. Then I answered questions about these assignments. Finally, I asked again if they had any other questions. One student raised his/her hand and asked what was due. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Where have you been for the last twenty minutes? This person was looking at me but not listening, apparently!
Teaching one student at a time... Making one yummy treat at a time... Struggling with life... Having Fun!!!
