Instead of reading teaching materials directly from the laptop, a lecturer can share course materials with his/her students by turning his/her Centrino-powered notebook into an access point or gateway.

		Easy access to course materials. Students can use a SONbuddy-enabled wireless laptop to access lecturer’s teaching materials. No more passing around printed copies or confusion over different document versions.
		Encourage active participation. Lecturer and students can discuss projects and share information using screen sharing feature. Students can raise questions by sending instant messages to the lecturer or use virtual whiteboard to exchange ideas and thoughts.
		Resource sharing. Acting as the “Internet gateway”, a lecturer can share a classroom’s web access and the college’s intranet with his/her students without having the school to invest in costly network infrastructure.
