  • Economic rough waters have prompted Texas schools in Abilene, TX to institute a
    district-wide cell phone fine. A new initiative will allow educators to
    confiscate any and all mobile phones, allowing them to hold the handset for a
    $15 ransom. After the first offense, students will have to ask a parent to come
    in and plunk down the $15 fine.

    This could be a way to give our school some money for uniforms, field trips, copy paper, copies, a new building. Maybe even enough for a staff retreat. Or, maybe we should leverage the cell phone for learning.
