PLN 5 semester 2

I read an article called "Students Pay a Price (Literally) for Cell Phone Ban" on Weblogg-ed where the author talked about how he talked to a group of students about how the students had technology present in their lives everyday and how they used their cell phones all the time.

We talked about the technologies they used, how they used it, and what they
might use it for, and the conversation was fairly predictable. Many of them had
a decent Internet connection at home, but many had none. Despite that, they
guessed almost 90% of the school had MySpace pages, that they went there every
day, that they used it to communicate and get information about homework, and
that, of course, it was blocked in school.

They alsotalked about their cell phone use and how they were able to use it since they were banned from the school. They said that they always needed it for communication but if it were brought in, they would be tooken away. So they now have to pay three dollars to bring their phone and haveit kept away till the end of the day. I think this is not nessesary, but then again tomany kids text.
