In his post “I lost something very important to me” Will Richardson shares three important lessons that banning cells teaches kids. They are: 1-It teaches them that they don’t deserve to be empowered with technology the same way adults are.2-Tools that adults use all the time in their everyday lives to communicate are not relevant to their own communication needs.3-They can’t be trusted (or taught, for that matter) to use phones appropriately in school.I recently had a cell phone enriched lesson plan shared with me (stay tuned, will be posted shortly) by a secondary teacher who is empowering students to harness the power of cell phones in their learning. And guess what happened when he did? They came up with their own list of appropriate use.
