Saw this on Dave's ESL Cafe Idea Cookbook:
I have found a great way to solve the cell phone problem. I explain to my students that although some of their teachers will take their cell phones for a week, month, semester, etc. I will only take their cell phones for 5 minutes. At first they are very happy about this, but then I explain that I will use it to call my brother back in Canada. No 001 (in Korea), no use of a calling card, just a straight forward direct call. Then I tell them they will have to answer questions about what I said while on the phone. Nobody has ever used a phone in my class.
Great idea. Kudos to that guy! I've never been able to 100% successfully solve the cellphone problem. It's texting that drives me mad!
