Well, I think that it is safe to say that I am a digital immigrant. I am doing my best to stay on top of technology, but it changes so fast. When I bought a new cell phone a few years ago, I didn't even have a texting plan, because I thought that texting was a fad and would quickly fade. I soon realized that was a mistake because everyone that I know texts much more than using email. So, this summer, my wife and I both got iPhones with free texting, and we use that feature all of the time.
Now that I have found out about how easy it is to text, I am beginning to wonder how cell phones could be used in the classroom. I suppose I need to do some research. Yesterday I discovered how to use a cell phones to survey people and have instant feedback on a computer. I wonder what today will bring.
Would you mind sharing that info on surveying using a cell phone and the computer. sounds interesting! I share your opinion on phones, etc. in the classrooms as well. I find so much energy is used asking students to put them away...etc. we need to channel a way to use it all
