I would say that the last people you could (or should) get to stop twittering and texting are the journalism students. But that's what a professor is trying to do. "She told the class to read the article," Taylor said. "Then she asked, 'You all read Alana's article, what did you think about it?' There was silence for a good 30 or 45 seconds, and it was awkward and weird. And she said, 'OK, we can all agree that there will be no more blogging or Twittering about the class.' It was weird. It seemed like the students were scared to say anything."
