for incorporatingcomputers into classroom activities is time10,11: time to learn the technology and time to modifylectures10. One suggested solution towards reducing the time requirement for incorporatingcomputers is to create and distribute lesson plans involving structured computer use12, whichprovide roadmaps for future faculty adopting technology. Similarly, reporting the experiences ofindividual instructors incorporating technology into their classrooms (e.g., 13,14) can result in a setof “best practices” that can be used by future instructors.In this paper, we take the latter approach and report on the experience of an instructor newlyassigned to teach in a computer-infused classroom (referred to as “new instructor” in this paper
