No+Cell+Phone?++No+Problem!

Karen Kelly

Before we jump into all of the fabulous things you can do with your students and their cell phones, let’s discuss the kids who do not have a cell phone to use. The resources I will discuss in this chapter allow responses from a computer connected to the Internet as well as cell phones. So in other words, a desktop, laptop, netbook, iPad, iPod Touch, etc… can provide the same functions as the cell phone and can be used in place of a cell phone. Sharing phones is also an option. If you have multiple students without a phone and you do not want students sharing phones, you could have students sign up for a free [|GoogleVoice] phone number which they could then access from a computer to use for some of the activities. This would allow you to track individual student responses if you wanted to instead of having multiple responses come from the same source (shared cell phone or computer).
