Teaching Generation Text: Using Cell Phones to Enhance Learning (Jossey-Bass Teacher) ReviewNot sure how students feel about having cell phones linked in to education, but I think it's a great idea, since its what's most used.
That said, while I approve of the "texting teacher/student" dialogue described here, I don't think cell phones belong in the classroom. People are simply too addicted to them (note the recent "dining with cell phones in middle of table" idea that caught on so fast).
Nielsen is forward thinking and this requires an open minded read of this book. (Even the Acknowledgment page is rather good--a chart of their names, address etc, and websites).
As a parent/teacher I like the idea of nagging students about homework, reports and other deadlines via their #1 social addiction.
But this is a positive book. It introduces cell phones FOR TEACHERS' use in the first section, with the smart idea that to use it with students we first need to see cell phones' educational/communication value in our own practices. Then she shows how to expand your own practice to engage learners (this is the bulk of the book--including Google Voice, Flickr, Twitter, Com-casting, and a lot more--Chacha, TextNovel, Wiffitti).
Nielsen tells you "How to" very clearly use these sites. And, best of all, gives lessons plans to try with your students (Gr 5-12).
Creative, interesting and inexpensive way to try the digital classroom.Teaching Generation Text: Using Cell Phones to Enhance Learning (Jossey-Bass Teacher) Overview
