Since I can only access IM at home. I haven't been able to do much with it. I usually only check it between 9:30 and 10:00 p.m. I'm afraid this mode of communication isn't working for me. I wonder if one can connect an internet IM service to your cell phone?
I am checking into Tapped In which looks like a way for teachers to use Chat in the classroom. I'm excited to see what our teachers can do with Tapped In. Right now I'm looking for a few of our teachers who can pilot the project. I do have some teachers using epals to set up a protected, moderated classroom blog. I hope to have some positive feedback for that soon. I'm planning/hoping to share some of these ideas at our district training sessions. But first I need some teachers with demonstrated success.
I had a misconception that my "young" teachers would jump on this new technology. Actually it's a veteran teacher and a 30-something like me who've been the change agents.
I'll keep you posted about the success of these projects.

The short answer is yes you can IM from your phone. That’s about all I can say on the topic. The specifics are going to depend on things like your phone, your provider and your plan with them, and the IM service you want to use. I’m sure you could do a bit of searching and find out what will or won’t work for you.
Interesting. Now that would be ideal. Though I'm not sure I want to be that connected. There's something to be said for solitude, in small doses at least.
Thanks for answering my question.
