One of our first year graduate students posted to Facebook, from her iPhone, while in class, the following message: "I hate this class."
Cheers, Karl W. -----Original Message----- From: Blaine Peden [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, October 30, 2009 6:18 PM To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) Subject: [tips] Text Messaging in Class Two students completed an observational study of text messaging by college students in several lecture classes. The incidence of text messaging was 10% across smaller to larger enrollment classes. One incidental finding was that most students rather openly engaged in text messaging rather than trying to conceal their activity. To what extent does this description match your experience? If you have tackled this situation, I welcome a copy of your classroom policy. I am also interested in any descriptions about how you have used text messaging to engage students in class. thank you, blaine --- To make changes to your subscription contact: Bill Southerly ([email protected]) --- To make changes to your subscription contact: Bill Southerly ([email protected])
