Positive and Negative Impact - Digital Citizenship and Digital Footprint.

This is not a battle. Cell Phones have taken a key role in the way that we communicate in the 21st century. We should not be battling with how to use technology and control it but rather evolving and finding ways to infuse this tool into our daily teachings.

We evolve by coming up with strategic ways to use texting in the classroom.

Strategy #1: Scales of Agreement: Students are often reluctant to share their opinions and perspectives in classroom discussion. By having students vote on a poll with their cell phones, as the results roll in they receive visual confirmation that their opinions are shared by others in the class.
The “Scales of Agreement” strategy works well in the classroom as a method to open up a classroom debate or to close a lesson. Instead of having students respond to a question that has a correct answer, create the following question:

Question: How would you describe your perspective on this concept/topic/issue?
A: Completely Agree
B: Somewhat Agree
C: Somewhat Disagree
D: Completely Disagree

Strategy #2: Scales of Understanding"


Question: How well do you understand the concept/
topic/issue?"
A: Completely Understand"
B: Somewhat Understand"
C: Do Not Clearly Understand"
D: Completely Do Not Understand
