IM Rules

This article was very interesting, especially the parts that discuss how people adapted a technology they already knew to make themselves more efficient. I have often wondered if our school's zero tolerance policy for communication devices is misguided.

It just seems to me that a technology used by several hundred million people every day must have some applications to communication within school. If it can make workers more productive by allowing them to have fewer interruptions, could it be used for arranging school events or locating people?

Let me know what you think. Tell me how you could use IM to improve your work and/or efficiency here at school.

Very interesting piece of article.
Moreover its contents are very true. I guess we should start using IM to communicate for everything.
