    Mentioned tonight on Twitter by Jimbo Lamb. This site lets you text to a group.

    Celly creates mini social networks called cells that connect you with people and topics that matter most to you. A cell can contain anybody with a cellphone, people from your existing social networks, or any web feed. We let you define filters based on hashtags, location, time, and user identity so you can eliminate noise and get alerted only when relevant messages occur.

    I had heard about doing this - but I had not tried it until today. They have really easy shortcuts for looking up info - I am going to try this in my spanish classroom. However, the cell phone should have unlimited text messages because the Google response is 2 texts.

Schools should embrace cell phones - 0 views

      In my district, the bigger issue is bandwidth. We are moving towards 1 to 1 - however, the connecting to the internet is what is getting in the way. But I would agree, most high schools do not have enough computers for everyone to use.
  • most high schools in the United States do not have enough computers for all students to use at once. By allowing cell phone usage, the ability to access the Internet will become much easier and will help schools save money. Since a cell phone uses a separate network to access the Internet, wireless networks will be spared the rugged strain all school wireless networks undergo. With a less stressed wireless network, fewer repairs will need to be made, thus relieving the IT staffs at schools.

      I agree with this. My district is attempting to move towards 1 to 1 classrooms, but they have found that access to the internet is the big issue. It is easier to add computers, it is more of a challenge to increase the bandwidth. I think it could cut back on the school wireless network.

      80% have cell phones - but many of the examples that are given for how students could benefit from having cell phones would require a cell phone and a data plan. Personally, I have been unwilling to spend $120 a month to have a data plan, and I imagine many parents would feel the same way.

  • Many critics argue that kids will become distracted if cell phones are allowed in class. Cell phones, however, potentially create the same distraction that comes along with sitting next to a classmate.

      Great quote ... however if the teachers management style is not strong enough, the cell phones could be another reason students are off task. If they are not connected to a school network, there is no way to track to see if they are on task.
  • Homework alerts and project directions can be sent via text message
  • One of the many missions of the educational system in the United States is to prepare students for life as adults so they can be productive citizens in a vastly changing world. Technology has been around for decades and is only growing and advancing. So why are schools not informing students on how to use it safely and effectively?
  • 80 percent of high school students in the United States have cell phones.

    OH my. What a nightmare. The more I read this the angrier I got at the attorney who would think that this was the right thing to do. It makes me sick to my stomach.
