Hi Jeff!<br />
I use cell phones with polleverywhere.com a lot, but I also use them to brnig outside voices into the classroom, especially on controversial topics. For example, we discuss race and college admissions...not the conducive to open and honest dialogue in a HS class, so I have the students text 5 people outside of school a question "On a scale of 1-5 how important should race be in college admissions" and then keep track of the results (what adults say, what college students say) as they…

<br />
I also have them use the Google SMS program (where they can text Google for a definition, etc.) when they reading a difficult work.<br />

It has been very interesting and stimulating to see the level of engagement of the students go up whenever we use cell phones. I hope that helps!

I think it is great that educators like yourself want to implement these everyday technologies into the classroom. This is a great way to engage students and keep their attention. I think it also presents a great opportunity to bring up cell phone privacy and safety along with a set of rules of classroom usage before introducing them to the classroom. Here's a great <a href="http://staging.kiwicommons.com/wp-content/uploads/Youth-Cell-Phone-Safety-Tips.pdf" target="_blank">guide</a> that…

I would suggest looking into SCVNGR (<a href="http://www.scvngr.com" target="_blank">www.scvngr.com</a>). You can make scavenger hunts that are played through text messaging on cell phones. I made a SCVNGR as a review session for a U.S. History test, where the students recieved clues and challenges that they answered from their notes, textbook or memory. The scavengers that you create can be put into demo mode for free (this means there is limited access), but you can also sign up…

Here is a video of my students reviewing for their test:<br />
