One tech idea I learned today…..

Well ….I’m trying this again.  I started a blog about a year and a half ago….and quit adding posts to it about four months later.  I’m not much of a writer (as you can probably see!…and please any English teachers out there…forgive me!  I was a math teacher…and not a good writer!    So here goes with my first entry.  Hopefully this attempt at blogging will have much better success!

 I attended an Alan November session today at his Building Learning Communities’ Conference.  One idea that Alan shared with us today that I had found intriguing was the idea of setting up a distribution list on your cell phone and sending voice mails to each of your student cell phones.  What a concept to send reminders of tests, small bites of information, etc to the students.  I had heard of using cell phones in education, but did not quickly see any possible uses for this venue.  I am looking forward to other ideas as to how cell phones could be used in the classroom.
