Poll: Cell Phones in School? Y or N
I was reading this interesting article on MSNBC on cell phones in school. The link is here:

Our school allows cell phones but they have to be turned off until the end of school.
I was thinking an innovative idea to incorporate the cell phone into my science class by allowing the students to type their notes for the lesson I am teaching for the day. Seeing as the teenagers have a higher WPM texting than adults do these days, I could get them to write the required notes down faster and have more time for discussion and debate. The students can then wirelessy beam it to their computer when they get home and print each classes notes out. The Techie Age is not going to go away… lets embrace it and turn it into educational energy =).
What do you think? How does your school handle cell phones?
