39. Cell Phone - Why
 As of 2004, 45% of students ages 8-18 had their own
cell phone (Kaiser Family Foundation, 2005)
 As of 2006, 74% of students in Grades 9-12 uses a cell
phone daily (Project Tomorrow, 2006a)
 These numbers will only increase as cell phones
become more affordable and available to students

40. Bringing Student Culture
into the Classroom
 “Chandler-Olcott and Mahar (2003) assert that
classrooms that integrate technology-mediated
literacy practices within everyday social learning
communities have the potential to promote more
academically related interests within the school than
classrooms lacking such integration.”
Pg.5, Toys to Tools

 When phones are not in use on a day we are using cells for learning place them face down on the
upper right side of your desk.
 If you notice someone in the class using their cell phone inappropriately, remind them to use
proper cell phone etiquette.
 If at any time your teacher feels you are not using your cell phone for class work you will be asked
to place your phone in the bin in the front of the room with a post-it indicating your name and
class.
 After the first infraction each month you can collect your phone at the end of class.
 After the second infraction you can collect your phone at the end of the day.
 After the third infraction your parent or guardian will be asked to retrieve your phone. If you
use the phone inappropriately again during the month your parent or guardian will be
required to retrieve your phone.
 At the beginning of each month, you have a clean slate.

66. Presenter Text Polling Notes
• Explain what’s going on
– “Now I’m going to ask for your opinion. You’ll use your phones to respond just like on American
Idol. So please take out your cell phones, but remember to leave them on silent.”
– “You’ll participate by sending a text message. If you don’t know how to do that, just ask your
kids! Or have your neighbor help you figure it out.”
• Address their concerns
– “This is a just standard rate text message, so it may be free for you, or up to twenty cents on some
carriers if you do not have a text messaging plan.”
– “The service we are using is serious about privacy. We cannot see your phone numbers, and
you’ll never receive follow-up text messages outside this presentation. There’s only one thing
worse than email spam – and that’s text message spam because you have to pay to receive it!”
• Use a demo or practice poll
– For example, a Free Text Poll like “Let’s Practice: Text in your first name!”
• Always test your polls in your presentation before your event
using the computer that will be projecting your presentation,
especially if that computer is not the one you’re currently
using.
