In my class we did an experiment to see which generation would receive the most text and phone calls during the class time. Each student put their name on their phone and put it on a table with their generation noted. Every 30 minutes we would stop what we are doing and take a look at the phone. I found that the Gen X student had the least amount of call, the Gen Y was runner up and the Boomers were the students with the most contact during class. The factor that was missing in this the student that was the bigges cell phone affender. She would have been in the Gen Y and I know she would have been the one to bring that generation first in the experiment. Fun for the students, and gave me a chance to teach without distraction.
