"You need to have your cell phones out and ready to text," said 11th and 12th grade Science teacher at Wiregrass Ranch High School, Mrs. Jill Lloyd. She begins her lesson on Ecology with that instruction.

Mrs. Lloyd is trying something new this school year. She is using texting as a learning tool in the classroom.

"It gives them an actual use for their cell phone," she said.

Mrs. Lloyd decided to use this new method of teaching after observing texting as a big distraction in the classroom in years past.
