My biggest classroom management issue concerns students who text. I usually have one or two each term who love to text and are fairly oblivious, even to specific, individual requests to "cease and desist". This term I'm going to tell students -- in a humorous way hopefully -- that their participation points for each class are going to include behaving like technological dinosaurs (like their instructor) and NOT texting in class. A texting incident is going to result in a point lost for that class. Then I think I'll e mail the texting student immediately after class about their loss of a point so they get an immediate consequence. I hope this will be effective, and I'm thinking that the use of humor will make it sting a bit less. Any other ideas about the nemesis that is texting?
