Random Thoughts

I read several of these articles and just had some random thoughts about some of the statements.

One of the articles mentions the different features that are available on cell phones such as a calculator, camera, audio recorder, video recorder, calculator, and texting that are now being used for different projects in schools. These projects include class blogs, creating reports, answering quizzes/exams, and solving math problems. While I think these are great tools to utilize, I'm not sure I'm ready to have cell phones in my class because I think the students might abuse their use of them. If the students have their cell phone they're gonna text! This is something that as a new teacher I would have to give a great deal of thought.

I thought the use of cell phones for the scavenger hunt at a museam was a great idea!

Lastly, I thought it was funny that one of the articles said "laptops are very 90's". What does that say about me-I have only had mine for two years!!!
