Thank you for this great idea. I think that cell phones can be used to our advantage rather than constantly fighting the students about having them in the classroom. If the students are going to have them, then why not put them to use? I believe it is one technology that most teachers fight with instead of use.

I have looked at this idea and I'm very excited about trying it in my class. I think this idea will be very useful and be a positive learning experience!

Thank you for the link. This is a great idea to incorporate cell phones and educational learning. How better to try to use the cell phone to our advantage instead of struggling with how to prevent its use in the classroom. I cannot wait to actually use this. I think I can use this tool in two weeks with one of my lessons. I cannot wait to see their responses.

On a person note, my 16 year old and other students have gotten in trouble for texting in class, when they are not supposed to. We all struggle with the cell phone dilemma, by having them use it for educational purposes they will have less time or desire to text their friends. It is a nice idea… even cutting down their likelihood of inappropriate texting would be the goal.

I work for one of the UK’s leading children’s charities – I’m really interested in being able to use this type of challenge for our corporate partners, as a fundraiser. Can you help!!?
