Great post! While I was writing my post and looking at the posts from the members in our group, I began to think about the social effects that cell phones have on people. Do you think these devices that were intended to make people more connected have actually disconnected us from our families/roots? Just a thought.
Hi Marion, I have to agree with Mayci a bit. Cell phones have disconnected me a bit with my sons...when I dial their phones they may or may not answer. If I send an instant text message, they are very prompt to answer. The younger generation could lose social skills because they had rather text than talk. Good post and nice tetrad. neena
Thanks for sharing information on the cell phone and its potential for instruction. I am concerned because few schools are allowing cell phones for instructional usage. Some administrators should be enlightened on positive as well as negative benefits of students using mobile phones.
