About the Book

Teaching Generation Text: Using Cell Phones to Enhance Learning by Liz Kolb is an educational technology book examining how mobile phones and other everyday communication technologies can be incorporated into teaching and learning. Rather than treating cell phones simply as distractions in the classroom, Kolb explores ways educators can use students' existing mobile technology to support communication, collaboration, research, assessment, and classroom activities.

The book focuses on the concept of “Generation Text,” referring to students who have grown up using mobile phones and text-based communication as part of everyday life. It considers how educators can connect familiar technologies with instructional goals while also addressing practical concerns about responsible and effective classroom use.

Using Cell Phones for Learning

Kolb presents classroom strategies and examples showing how mobile phones can support learning activities. The book examines uses such as text messaging, accessing information, communicating with teachers and classmates, collecting data, creating digital content, and participating in learning beyond the traditional classroom.

The approach is not simply about putting technology into lessons. It considers how teachers can select mobile activities that support specific learning objectives and how schools can address issues such as classroom management, student access, privacy, and responsible technology use.

Who Is It For?

Teaching Generation Text is particularly useful for teachers, teacher educators, educational technology professionals, school administrators, and students studying education. It can also help educators considering practical ways to integrate mobile devices into classroom instruction.
