52. Cell Phone - Why
âą As of 2004, 45% of students ages 8-
18 had their own cell phone (Kaiser
Family Foundation, 2005)
âą As of 2006, 74% of students in
Grades 9-12 uses a cell phone daily
(Project Tomorrow, 2006a)
âą These numbers will only increase as
cell phones become more affordable
and available to students
53. Bringing Student Culture
into the Classroom
âChandler-Olcott and Mahar (2003)
assert that classrooms that integrate
technology-mediated literacy
practices within everyday social
learning communities have the
potential to promote more
academically related interests within
the school than classrooms lacking
such integration.â

81. Christ Has No Online Presence
Christ Has No Online Presence but Yours
No Blog, no Facebook page but yours,
Yours are the tweets through which love
touches this world,
Yours are the posts through which the
Gospel is shared,
Yours are the updates through which
hope is revealed.
Christ has no online presence but yours,
No blog, no Facebook page but yours.
Paul Brian Campbell, SJ created this contemporary take on Saint
Theresa of Avilaâs well known prayer, Christ Has No Body.
