Highlight:

Students sat in small groups in Tony Neeley’s science classroom, staring intently at a projected image at the front of the class. A question popped onto the screen. Neeley gave the students a six-digit number and said, “Go.” Instantly thumbs began dancing over cell phone keypads. Within seconds, phones trilled the signal that a text message had been sent. At the same time, answers began dropping into view on the screen, one answer for each group of students, identified by a student’s cell phone screen name.

Sounds inspiring. Thoughts?

I know Mr. Cassidy is interested in trying out cell phones in the classroom, and so is Randy Z. How can we do this without creating problems in other classrooms?
