How much texting is going on in the classroom?

2 professors from Wilkes University surveyed students to find out how much texting is going on in the classroom. Their findings are not unexpected, though the students' perspective might be--from the press release: "In fact, students frequently commented on the survey that their professors would be 'shocked' if they knew how much texting went on in class."

Link includes recommendations on how to curtail texting in the class. Or it might be time to start exploring how to incorporate this ubiquitous technology into the class--engaging through the technology instead of banning it.
