Students still do not understand consequences of their use Students have no idea how to use them in future job force!

47. How do we change?

48. 2007: Middle School Principal’s Journey “Last year the school ran out of calculators needed for a math exam, So I let a student use the calculator function on his cell phone. The student was excited to use a phone instead of a calculator. I found 19 of my 22 students had phones.” -Kipp Rogers, Principal at Passages Middle School in Virginia

50. 100% of those students can send a text message

51. 90-95% can take and send a picture from their cell phone.

52. 80% have Bluetooth or GPS options on their cell phone.

54. Addressing: Safety & Access Dr. Kipp Rogers Says… "For the most part, the kids respect the rules. I never had any problems with kids using them inappropriately in my class. We spent a lot of time talking about their digital footprint and that what they do can be tracked." He said he initially worried about "the haves and have nots," but students work in teams for most assignments requiring cell phones, so there is always at least one phone among the group.

55. First Project How to use Google to find information with their phones. (GOOGLE (466453). http://www.google.com/mobile/products/sms.html#p=default Using key words, students can look up definitions, download weather, get directions, search for information about a location or object, translate a word or phrase into Spanish or French or receive the latest sports scores for their favorite teams.

56. iReporting Students also use their phones to take photos and assemble reports and story projects on Blogger.com Some classes have blogs developed by the students with uploaded text, photos and audio clips. Most of the programs he and the other teachers use are free.

57. Reviewing “Students sat in small groups in the classroom, staring intently at a projected image at the front of the class. A question popped onto the screen. I gave the students a six-digit number and said, ‘Go.’ Instantly thumbs began dancing over cell phone keypads. Within seconds, phones trilled the signal that a text message had been sent. At the same time, answers began dropping into view on the screen, one answer for each group of students, identified by a student's cell phone screen name.” – Tony Neeley, Science Teacher In less than an hour, the students worked their way through more than 70 questions for a semester exam review, with every eighth-grader participating!

58. Student’s Reaction Sixth-grader Cassie Garn said her English teacher uses cell phones for several exercises. "This is more interesting and people pay attention," she said. "It's fun. It beats writing stuff down and everybody likes to try to be first." “My teacher roams the room to make sure students are sending answers and not texts to friends.” "It's all related to work," Garn said. "We're not texting other people."

59. Teacher’s Reactions Teachers said participation is up and discipline problems are down in classes using cell phones. Rogers is looking for ways to expand the phones' uses. "It's fighting a losing battle to ask them to leave them at home.” Learn more from Dr. Rogers: http://passage.nn.k12.va.us/

62. All messages/media sent or published must be related to lesson.
