I think class policies are essential to setting up the foundation for the learning environment. It gives the students direction as to what is acceptable and not acceptable in the classroom.

Agreed. Phone conversations are hard to have when you are trying to show you are interested and listening to the speaker. I think we perform all the functions of listening while we are on the phone, but the caller can't see it.

We are starting to use Facebook instructor pages at my facility. I think the utilization of social media has to have well defined rules for usage when interacting with students. If there is no clear definitions for social media interaction with students, it could cross the line very easily.

I think it is hard to control cell phone useage in class. We have class policies that clearly state no cell phone use in class. In having this statement on our class policies, it helps make it cut and dry, therefore there is not grey area on usage in the classroom.
