We should be teaching appropriate phone etiquette whether or not we allow students to use phones in school. It makes sense. Being connected to technology is no excuse for diconnecting from humanity. Here is a recent article from the New York Times:

What's the plan?
Here is what's next:
I will read more of Mary Bullard's nuggets of wisdom. I know she is on top of the wave...and she spreads lots of good resources via the emails that I seldom have time to investigate.
I will try to reflect in this blog!
I will talk to younger, more tech savvy teachers and ask for their help in trying digital methods of inquiry and instruction.
I will dig out the long list of topics David Warlick spoke about at a Countywide PD session a few years back. He raved about Twitter before it was the behemouth it is now...
I will move forward.

Activity 6- Mostly Cloudy
I realize that the cloud is supposed to free us from our desktops. Google Docs and the Amazon Cloud (music) Player are two recent examples I've seen. Privacy concerns still bug me. If information is "out there, I lose some control of it. I prefer to share only the things I want to share, with whom I choose. I'm not ready to cede all of my privacy.
