Wish list for the classroom Dave Green


This little beauty would be great to have in a class room, but when we dive into the legalities is gets a little sketchy. This is a cell phone jammer. Just think no more worries if students are texting each other the answers. Or distracting rings during class. Maybe someday it will be standard in schools for a jammer to be present and solve all of the cell-phone problems. Until then, be diligent, be watchful, and most of all.... Call your students during class to see who has their cell phone on and with them.

ELMO Dave Green


We used this is class a lot but never really heard any background on it. Here it is, the ELMO. On the website you can see many different designs, other than the style we used here at school. I personally like the handheld wireless one that you can walk around with. That would be great to say "Everyone take a look at Billy's Paper, this is how you do #5.
