Stand Up for Technology

Why do schools outlaw digital products (cell phones, iPods) that could be wonderful techie tools? - Because there are some kids who have caused problems and probably will continue to cause problems with these devices. There are some kids who might spend their time text messaging instead of participating in class projects. You know what we mean. So why not talk to your students about this problem and get the kids to understand what their responsibilities are. Have the kids stand up for technologies. You'll find ideas to promote standing up for tech in Power to Learn's elementary, middle school, and high school Computers & Homework sections.
