Using battery-powered laptops and infrared networks, Project CONNECT provides a collaborative notetaking support system and brings no wires into the classroom
Students in regular education classes are paired with notetakers who have been hired and trained by Project CONNECT. Both of them take notes on their own laptop computers using collaborative word processing software called Aspects.
Aspects allows students and notetakers to see each other's notes while writing their own. In this way, notetakers model good notetaking during the class period, and students leave class with their own notes and with those of the notetaker.
Photonics' Cooperative infrared networking device allows student and notetaker to work together without wires.
The Macintosh PowerBook provides portable, battery-operated computing power.
