Cheating is a problem…
• 26% of teenagers admitted to using their cell phone to store information to look at during a test or a quiz.
• 25% have text messaged their friends about answers during a test or quiz.
• 20% have searched the Internet via their mobile phone during a test or quiz.
• 17% have taken pictures of a test or quiz with the cell phone in order to send the pictures to their friends.
Even MORE of a problem
Most students do not envision these activities as cheating.
More than half of the students surveyed did not think these acts were serious offenses of cheating, rather they think of it as just “helping out a friend.”
70% of U.S. schools completely ban cell phones from campus
63% of students admitted to sneaking in cell phones and using them during class anyway.
In a seven class a day, five day school week, the average student sends at least three text messages per class.
Life Consequences
• A 14-year-old Wisconsin girl who refused to stop texting during a high school math class was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct.
• Six teens face child porn (13 to 15) charges after being caught "sexting" each other. Criminal Charge!
Current Banning and Structures are NOT working
• Students still “cheating”, “Off-task”, or “inappropriately” using cell phones in schools
• Students still bring them to schools and use them when told not to.
• Students still do not understand consequences of their use
• Students have no idea how to use them in future job force!
How do we change?

5 Rules for Cell Phones in Schools
Set rules based on business regulations for cell phone use (look at business contracts)
Social contract with students
Must be on vibrate at all times
Keep them in the front of the room until you are going to use them.
All messages/media sent or published must be related to lesson.
If you are referencing someone else in class, you must have their approval before posting or publishing.
Create a permission form (in addition to the School’s AUP)
Discuss Mobile Safety & Appropriate Use
• Part of digital footprint
• Your digital dossier that includes Internet activity such as social networking, email, chat rooms,
• YOU can’t erase this!!! Permanent record
• EVERYTHING you send via text message (pictures, videos, text, audio…etc) is PUBLIC!!!
• Example: Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick
• Mobile “bullying” and “sexting” is public
• Students should know their plans
• Bring in their cell phone plan and a bill
• Discuss what is charged and how much
• Give Students a Survey
What can students do with a basic cell phone?
• Phone Call
• Send a Text Message (SMS)
• Take a Picture
• Ringtones
• Wallpaper
Questions…
• Do ALL students need their own phone?• NO! Groups, Web Options, Landlines
• What if my school does not allow cell phones on campus?• Activities work very well off-campus for homework
• Can I use a BASIC phone?• YES! Phone call, text message, take a picture…
• Does it costs money?• The resources are FREE, students should know their plans
• Students with disabilities?• Speech to Text & Text to Speech Options
