Students are instructed to take out their wireless devices in order to interact with math and science lessons being conducted on projectors or SmartBoards. Students use their phones to text in their answers, which immediately are displayed on the projection in order to gage whether or not the class as a whole and students individually understand the concepts of the lesson.
The school still blocks social networking and the students need permission to make phone calls, and cannot text each other, and are not allowed to use their phones between classes.
The school is attempting to embrace the available technology instead of fighting against it… there are still problems however… though they are told not to use their phones for socializing during school hours, some students are abusing the privileges of using the phones for academic purposes…the school says the program is a work in progress…
