      I think this statement is so true. So many people are afraid to experiment and try new things unless there is hard evidence that supports the idea.
  • using hand-held devices in the classroom can improve students’ motivation, engagement, conceptual understanding, and problem-solving skills.

      I tend to agree with this statement but I think there needs to be some boundaries with it all.

    This device is just cheap enough that I think we may begin to see them in classrooms in the next few years IF schools do not advocate cell phone use in the classroom.

  • If students act in a mature manner and present a fair cell phone use agreement to their parents, teachers, and administrators, maybe this cell phone controversy can be settled for the benefit of all.

      The important words for making this work are "mature" and "agreement". Students have to follow the rules for this to work, and there have to be consequences if they don't.

    Looks like Shannon had already posted this article. It is middle of the road, giving both the pros and cons for cell phone use in schools.
  • Tia Brown on 10 Jul 10
     
    I am still very iffy on the cell phone issue in schools. I think it is because I have dealt with so many cell phone issues with discipline this year. I worry that middle schoolers will always cross the lines when it comes to cell phone usage, and that even putting rules and regs into place will not stop the inproper use.
  • Stacy Palkovics on 11 Jul 10
     
    I'm with Tia! I am still really skeptical on cell phones in the classroom for the same reasons. As an administrative aide, I've seen my high schoolers do some really sketchy things with their cell phones. I also think that using cellphones in a class of 25-30 kids is almost impossible to monitor.

    This article talks a lot about having laptops instead of desktops. I think this is one way that Henrico County stands out...because of our lapotp initiative. However...are we using the technology to benefit the students the best that we can?

  • Why you’d bother: LinkedIn is especially useful when you’re looking for a new job — or a new employee, which helps explain its 70-million-strong global membership — because you’re no longer limited to asking your immediate colleagues for referrals. Now you can ask colleagues of colleagues, which greatly expands your reach. LinkedIners can also vouch for one another as references.

  • There’s a game element, too: you earn points whenever you check in. In fact, whoever visits a certain place the most becomes its “mayor,” and may be rewarded by a giveaway from that business.
