Texting is OK in this class

ATLANTA (AP) - April 27, 2010

Georgia State University prof David McDonald wants his students to text during his lectures.

The business professor is using new software that projects questions sent via text message in what looks like a news ticker.

McDonald says he got the idea during an Atlanta Thrashers hockey game.

Fans are able to send text message shout-outs that are posted on the scoreboard.

He contacted Atlanta-based FanDriveMedia to adapt their technology to the classroom.
