Subject: re: cell phones in class

Wow, we were just talking about this topic at school this morning. I
sometimes feel the deaf and hard of hearing kids have the phones
connected directly to their veins! One of the boys this morning
(module A) understood he couldn't keep the cell phone on his desk but
to turn it off?!! Horror of horrors! what if something reeeaaally
important happened?

In all fairness though cell phones have had a huge positive impact on
people with a hearing loss...

Anyway, the web is a-buzz with this topic now. Here's one link that
links to many:

In regards to getting a debate / discussion going on this topic,
here's a link to an older post from the "tempered radical" - he has  a
 way of getting the ball rolling:

He has quite a few posts on the topic.

A word of warning: many teachers rave about using "poll everywhere "
which lets the students use cell phones like clickers in a webinar or
a game show. Last time I checked, "everywhere" didn't include Israel.
