After seeing my Dean and other colleagues using PDAs during a workshop, I completely changed my position on laptops in the classroom. I now allow everything. To do otherwise, when faculty can't sit through a workshop w/o checking email, strikes me as hypocritical. More problematic than checking email is recording parts of a workshop on a PDA, which I've also seen.

I think how the PDA or other device is being used and whether those in the audience are paying attention to the speaker makes a difference, and that usedproperly, they can enhance the discussion. In my own case, I'm certainly guilty of using a PDA or laptop during faculty workshops to view the paper being presented or to look up things that are relevant to the presentation for the purposes of asking questions.
