3. We frequently discuss how we can do
the best job of communicating with
students, yet at the same higher
education often ignores or avoids the
use of texting, a communication
technique that is a part of most
American high school and college
students’ daily lives. Surely it’s time for
that to change.
4. The importance and prevalence of text
messaging is certainly undeniable. This 2008
study placed the monthly volume at over 75
billion. A 2010 Pew Research report indicates
that teens use texting on cell phones to
communicate more than they use the voice
calls or face to face communication, with 54%
using text messaging to contact friends versus
38% calling, and just 33% communicating face-to-
face.
