Many teens send 100 plus text messages per day

So if our teens are texting a lot and only making 5 phone calls per day, then how can we vary our teaching methods to take advantage of this paradigm? Think about how efficient some of these students are at texting. More than likely they are better at texting than they are taking notes. How do they do it? They use short hand, yes that's right use some of the same principles the old business teacher taught what seems like eons ago. I have a poster in my room called the "Text Message Glossary". Ask your students how why they think texting is more efficient than talking on the phone.
