Desktop computers without DVD players are here
by Anonymous in classrooms, desktop computers
With the rise in popularity of smaller computing devices manufacturers
are building computers that are lighter and less expensive. One tradeoff with this trend is the
elimination of CD/DVD drives. If you use
a computer that does not have a built-in DVD drive but you need one, please
contact Dawn Canfield who can
arrange a loaner DVD drive for you.
We are currently running a pilot of DVD-less computers in
the Del Norte classrooms. The new instructor
machines in this building are small form factor computers mounted directly
behind the monitors and they do not have DVD drives. We’d very much like instructor feedback on
these machines to help us plan for the future.
Please send your comments (and/or requests for external DVD players if
necessary) to Dawn Canfield.
