Question for SRNAs about laptops

Published

Do any of you SRNAs out there take notes during class with a laptop? Do you worry that the noise you make typing will annoy your classmates, especially since (Im assuming) most of your classes are small in size?

I have a Toshiba satellite and the keyboard is nice and quiet. Less noise than pages turning in a spiral lol. But really, I start my program in the fall, and even though I am a good typist, I don't think I will be able to type fast enough to take notes.

I use an mp3 player with voice recorder to tape lectures. I can burn the file to a cd for the car or leave it on the player for later listening.

we are very lucky - our instructors use power point and provide us w/ typed copies of their presentations...anyway - in our classroom there would be no room for a labtop...and many of the students would be annoyed by it...i guess that is what happens when you place 30 type A personalities in a little room LOL.... good luck

RNMBA, your mp3 player with voice recorder, how much information will it hold & what kind is it? The digital recorders I have looked at won't hold more than 90 minutes of lecture. (keep in mind I don't know much about digital recorders anyway, so I could be looking at the information wrong.) :)

For those looking to purchase PDAs, the Sony Clie has hours of recording time on the memory stick. You can easily transfer the file by drag & drop onto your home computer and listen to your heart's content. Very sensitive microphone, clear as a bell. Worked great for me thru school.

This sounds like the way to go. Going to look into this.

Bet you could even burn them to disk later on..
