This podcast features an interview with Rhonda, the drama teacher at Yukon High School in Yukon, Oklahoma. This past year, for the first time, Rhonda has shared her cell phone number with her high school students with clear guidelines about the hours when she checks text messages. She receives over 1000 text messages per month from her students, and they respect her boundaries for having her cell phone number. Rhonda has been able to significantly increase her communication with students before and after class as well as rehersals, and makes a compelling case for teachers (in at least some contexts) sharing their cell phone number with students and helping them learn how to appropriately and respectfully utilize a teacher’s cell phone number.
