With the traditional calendar we had 16 weeks plus finals, with a compressed calendar we have 16 weeks total. Check your class times, they are a little different now.

I make adjustments at that point.  If everyone does not have one I may borrow some, or more likely I have them share devices.  I find that small group activities with one device leads to some excellent collaboration/communication.
