I know this post will make some of my fellow teaching professionals hurt: but if we can convert the use of cell phones to an educational tool, shouldn't we take that chance and try?
I'm always trying to get my students to express themselves better in writing ... on paper. I'm finding that when given the technology and the opportunity to write (or test) their opinions, I tend to get more examples of their writing than less.
Which is ironic when you think about it, as some of the texting plans that I see advertised offer 15 cent charges for each text sent - paper is almost free, and they don't want to use it.
But the use of cell phones with Spec Ed kids is something which this article explores, too.
