I think that one of the issues with the use of cell phones in the classroom is that many students will have different cell phone pay plans (many of which the parents are paying for). There are other issues but in effort not to be long winded, here is my plan for making accomodations. 1) Rather than buying class sets of books, order the DVD only and spend the extra money allocated for books on class sets (30 or so) of cell phones, with packages including texting and internet usage. 2) With a class set of phones the teacher is in charge of the phones and their usage. Student's personal cell phones will not be allowed in the building.
Yes, I know that is a radical concept but it does overcome some issues with the use of cell phones in the classroom.
