Many, if not most, educators view cell phones as the enemy. Author Liz Kolb sees them as powerful technology in the hands of students. Acknowledging the current reality at many schools ban student cell phone use in the classroom Kolb discusses a host of innovative and highly interesting uses for the technology that do not require using the phones in the classroom. She also addresses the issues that have caused the bans and provides guidelines for overcoming the problems.
Ignoring, or worse, demonizing a technology that students willingly and actively use in every other aspect of their lives is not a winning educational strategy. Mini lessons and powerful resources throughout the book are easily adaptable and appropriate for almost any grade level and are designed to enhance learning both inside and outside of the classroom.
This book is a practical guide for educators who would like to turn what many consider an annoying digital toy into a powerful educational tool.

Ursprünglich hatte ich das Buch mal analog gekauft, unterdessen ist die gedruckte Version im Altpapier und eine digitale Version liegt auf meiner Festplatte.
