“My students are texting during class. I told them to. I use the PollEverywhere.com
website to allow students to use their own mobile devices to participate in the class Daniel Rozmiarek,
discussion. All of my students have a mobile phone, and most admitted to texting ILPD, presents at
during their classes. But, they hide their texting because professors actively forbid Towson SPARK #2 on
texting during class. To prevent texting is denying the reality that mobile devices
are a part of student life. I accept this reality and invite students to use their texting May 4th. “Get Your
capabilities to make meaningful contributions to the class. Students to START
Texting in Class.”
I create a question and display it on the screen. Students see a number to send a text
message, Tweet, or web response just as they would when communicating directly with each other. Those messages
appear on a scrolling discussion board in real-time. For one lesson in EDUC 301: Writing for Teachers, I gave students
a copy of a business letter to critique. They discussed the letter in small groups, but they posted their comments to
PollEverywhere.com so the other groups in the class could see all the comments without interrupting the small group
discussions. Students felt more inclined to participate by text message because they were uncomfortable speaking up in
front of the whole class. Others appreciated being able to comment without waiting for a turn to speak.
The use of student response media, in this case Poll Everywhere, has enabled my students to use familiar devices for
purposes that encourage discourse, increase engagement and recognize their roles as digital natives.”
