The wireless, wireless classroom?

USA Today has an article today about Facebook. Facebook? Yes. College students are spending too much “Classroom time” studying Facebook. Studying Facebook instead of listening to the professor.

Of course some of the suggestions in the article is to take advantage of Facebook and Twitter by sending classroom messages to the students. Fight fire with fire. Put current movie photos on Facebook with captions that support the classroom subject. Maybe a photo of George Clooney from the Defendant with a caption. Caption saying, “You know girls, World War II was started by the Japanese when they bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.” Or, a scene photo from Toy Story 2 showing Mr. Potato Head saying, “French Fries are high in carbohydrates, salt, and vegetable oil.”

My suggestions is to place Mobil jamming devices all over campus. Certainly there would be those crying freedom of expression or unfair usage of electronics. Unfair usage of electronics? Is this the kettle calling the pot black? Yes. You know what I mean. I have no problem with either banning wireless devices or Jam them out of usage. You texters, get a life.
