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

“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

Digital Etiquette

http://www.techlearning.com/blogs/35840

Upon entry and departure of class please ensure cell phones are turned off and stored in your backpack.

On days when we are using cell phones for learning please ensure they are set to silent. Only use phones for learning purposes related to classwork. 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.

Adapt to fit your classroom setting

This presentation contains the poll(s) you downloaded

Slide Contents

2 Suggested verbal notes for presenters

3 Instructions slide to educate audiences on responding via text messages.

4 Instructions slide to educate audiences on responding via web or mobile web. This must be enabled on your poll in PollEverywhere.com.

5 Instructions slide to educate audiences on responding via Twitter. This must be enabled on your poll in PollEverywhere.com.

6+ The actual poll(s) you downloaded are embedded on these slides.

What’s next? Jump to slide 6 and enter Slide Show mode to see your poll in action. Copy & paste slide 6 and beyond into your own presentation, or just use this presentation.

• 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.

1. Standard texting rates only (worst case US $0.20)2. We have no access to your phone number3. Capitalization doesn’t matter, but spaces and spelling do

TIPS
