What excites me about the article is the growing support nationwide that it is time to embrace cell phones, not suppress their use. There are still school officials that have legit concerns in regards to the problems they cause....but more of us understand that the benefits outweigh the detriments.
Check out the article at the above link. Be sure to also view "the website of the week" and two other articles I have written concerning cell phones in the classroom on
www.energizetheclassroom.com . Click on "education news" and scroll down to January, 2009 and Novenber 2008 for the two articles.
Have a great week and remember to keep teaching fun, keep it relevant, and keep learning!
