ell phones promote the expression of their thinking and learning.

In terms of critical thinking, my students research extensively on the web and it is very convenient for them to pull out their phones to access our wireless network rather than going to a computer lab in the school. They can share the links to various sites via text messaging or Facebook in a timely and efficient manner. Many of my students communicate regularly in these mediums so it allows for the ubiquitous transmission of ideas into and out of the classroom.

6 Ways to Use Cell Phones to Strengthen the Home-School Connection

Children Endangered by Cell Phone Radiation

Their latest work shows the process is linked to serious brain damage. Professor Salford said neurons that would normally not become "senile" until people reached their 60s may now do so when they were in their 30s. In addition, research indicates that exposure to cell phones’ radiation causes red blood cells to leak hemoglobin. Scientists exposed samples of blood to microwave radiation and found that even at lower levels than those emitted by cell phones, the blood cells leaked hemoglobin.

have students engage in one or both of the following exercises:

Ask students: How are cellphones used, and how can they be used, in our society today?

Engage students in a discussion about your school’s cellphone rules. Ask: What are the rules? What is the reason or philosophy behind them? How do they see students using cellphones in school? If cellphones are banned, how would they like to use cellphones in school? How are the rules enforced?

"It provides the potential to empower and uplift students in their learning,"

To maximize effectiveness, education in the 21st century has to be active, engaging, and customized.
