Brian, Good use of classroom technology as plagiarism remains rampant in higher education. As faculty we need to do what we can to set an expectation that must be meet when submitting course work. For example APA format is important for a number of reasons. One of the most important is that it gives credit where credit is due and could cut down on the issues you addressed. Antoine Lewis

@ellythomas : This is a problem often found in the adult learning program I am a part of. I have no problem being the bad guy but many are not. One option is to give the class a 5 min break and right before resuming class address the group regarding cell phones, talking etc.
