Everyone carriers a cell phone with them everywhere. They find it more important to have than any other object (even a school ID). By utilizing a cell phone for a panic alert system for staff, the entire building is safer.
I put more faith in people, not an app, for a child's safety.
Cell phones should be banned in school. I might compromise if cell phones where locked in a locker (muted) and/or a zero tolerance policy for cell phones in the classroom. In-between classes, lunch, etc is OK.
Its here and will be an ever growing part of our future. Yes, it is challenging particularly for us longer in the tooth, but it is also exciting. Used right, it is a game changer. Lets not get left behind.
a mobile app has a lot more functionality and can prevent false alarms that are common with panic buttons on a lanyard.

ReplyCell phones are like wallets - everyone remembers to bring them so they are at hand during an emergency.
