    One of the applications I tried out was Socrative.  It can best be described as online clickers.  Here is an article that describes it more in detail.  Since I teach at college and EVERYONE has cellphones, it is very easy (and fun) for students to use.  And teachers get immediate feedback!

      Let's maximize the interest in cellphone for language learning benefits!

    This is a very helpful article; I agree with the author about students' cell phone use and engagement, and using google voice in a cell phone activity like this would seem to engage students and keep them on a productive task. My students have much more access to phone than to computers with recording functions.

      Is a brain that's wired differently a bad thing?

      It seems at times that "wired differently" is being used as an excuse for a growing inability to stay on task. When the need for immediate gratification leads you to think that 6 minutes of YouTube is a substitute for reading Vonnegut, I get a little worried. The social world of the teenagers may center around multitasking, but that seems to suggest that we need to have them work on focused concentration in the classroom ... rather than reinforcing skills that they are mastering on their own.

      get them a phone that only calls you or only receives calls from you!

    Jon- I totally agree that we should still make them read Vonnegut and can't use new culture/brain learning styles as excuses- how to reconcile the new ways students are and our teaching styles is where we need to research more so we can implement instructional practices that meet them where they are at and get them to the place we need them to be.
