Video Documentary

Once again could not figure out what to do for this assignment. I was unsure how I'd make a video documentary of my use of technology in a way that it would be interesting for anyone else to watch, but I just began to take note of how often I use my cell phone and what I use it for and how that has changed my daily life per-say. I started to really considering how regularly I use it my cell phone for so much more than making call or even texting. I use it to constantly check my emails, the whether, I use it to quickly lookup and locate books in the library, to find word definitions, to make documents while on the road of thoughts and ideas for assignments, listin to music, watch youtube videos...to check the yankees game score when it was relevant...etc, (I'm about the last person not to have facebook, but if I did no question that would make it to the list), and so then I got thinking on high school students. When I was in high school our cell phones did not do all that, we could make phone calls, text, play a few games, but that was about it. So with the advanced technology our cell phones are capable and most all now come with, how does that, or should that change things for students in high school?
Cell phone use is banned in most every school. Cell phones are expected to stay turned off and locked away in cars, left at home, or kept in lockers for the duration of the school day and considered a distraction. So what do the students do, they sneak them in, they try to use them secretly. So what if instead of trying to figure out ways of keeping them out of the classroom teachers consider ways to incorporate them in, find ways to put these minute computers to use in a way that the students learn productive and innovated ways to cell phones to work...other than just using them to check their facebook statues and text their friends in neighboring classrooms. Technology is growing at a rapid pace, our students are growing with it, and as educators of the 21st century we must find beneficial ways to incorporate it because to ignore it would be it many ways holding our students back.
And that is the concept and ideas I created my video documentary on.
