often it isn't the school administrators that are creating the school policy about cell phones--it's often the district administrators

Peggy_G says to (19:44:46):
that's such a brilliant way to start!! That's what Tim Tyson did when he introduced blogging to his teachers :-) Then the second year they were all expected to blog!
Peggy_G says to (19:47:00):
good idea--important for kids to know if they have unlimited texting!
Peggy_G says to (19:48:37):
digital footprints!! :-)
JymBrittain says to (19:49:02):

Peggy_G says to (19:52:11):
@Jim-do your students resist using their cell phones for learning?
Peggy_G says to (19:52:28):
what an enlightened principal!!!
Liz Kolb says (19:52:39):
Yes!!!
Liz Kolb says (19:53:29):
Peggy--will ask
Peggy_G says to (19:53:46):
I definitely plan to share this recording with some of my principal friends!! It is so inspiring!
Peggy_G says to (19:55:08):
such a great point about using a variety of ways to communicate with parents! I'm sure they appreciate it!
Peggy_G says to (19:55:26):
:-)
Peggy_G says to (19:56:43):
I love that they can't say they lost their homework because they always have their cell phone with them.
Liz Kolb says (19:57:06):
@Peggy I agree!!
Peggy_G says to (19:58:23):
Jim needs to take his story on the road!! Districts would love to hear these first-hand experiences from a principal!
Liz Kolb says (19:58:34):
I'll tell him!!!!
Peggy_G says to (19:59:14):
Tell the teachers/principals to get started the same way he did! That is such an effective strategy!
Peggy_G says to (20:00:35):
How about NECC/ISTE 2010?
