The students have great difficulty putting their cell phones away, and often ignore me the asked or take it right back out. We are not supposed to confiscate the phones. What should I do to get them to put their phones away? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I suggest integrating the Cellphones into the course work. I Like using sites like Kahoot and others that make using the phones a positive force in the classroom.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I think that this is a good idea to use occasionally, in order to enhance a student's use of technology.

Utilizing technology which isn't equally accessible shouldn't guide everyday lesson planning. In sporadic group sessions, interactive games can be a fun way to integrate such technology (groups create their own quizzes, then take them each others quizzes), but is not an effective daily solution to the problem.
