All we have to fear is fear itself....or cell phones in the classroom...

Ask yourself this...

Are you a teacher now in the 21st Century?

How willing are you to use not only the technology available to you  in your classroom, but use something like say a cell phone or smart phone in your teaching? What is stopping you? Have you tried it? Do you have a Smart-board in your classroom at this very moment gathering dust? If your answer is yes...my question is WHY?
Don't we owe it to our students to give it a shot? We don't have anything to lose, and I don't think we can say it is a bad idea, or that it is bad teaching....unless we understand it,and try it. This was my motivation for joining Twitter...and I am bound and determined to keep learning and experimenting with as many forms of technology as I can to assist me in my teaching. Maybe I will get through to that one child who just didn't give a hoot before...
