Hey there! Want some tips on how to text in class? Here are 11. I text in class, have been doing so since I got a phone, and have been caught doing this and had my phone taken away. This comes form experience. Learn from it.
Did you come from a place other than facebook? Check out the page Here!.
1. Turn off your ringer! This may seem obvious, but it applies. I have heard ringers in class. Consider using Silent all, because some phones vibrate isn't quiet.
2. Text in a class where the teachers allows it. Some teachers really don't care if you text or not.
3. Use other people as a screen. What I mean by this is if you are sitting behind someone; put the phone almost up to their back. Works best if they are in on it and won't move.
4. Leave class. Works only if you intend on sending 1-2 messages, because if you leave class more than once per period they will be onto you.
5. Be aware of your surroundings. If a teacher is walking towards you, put the phone away as FAST as you can. Which is better: sending a text or losing your phone?
6. Lights are off? Don't text. Unless you can do it without looking at your phone, but then you have the problem of reading messages.
7. Before you start, turn off or turn down the brightness. Lower brightness = hard to see.
8. Pick a good seat. Near the back is better. I find the worst is on the sides, the front is hard but not impossible. The side of the class room has little cover.
9. Spend a few classes to observe the teacher. Do they stick to one half of the room? Sit in the other. Do they patrol? Start to text as soon as they pass you, giving you the most time possible.
10. If you are in the computer lab/room/etc: You can send using e-mail, it's pretty easy to do actually. You need to know their provider, but that shouldn’t be too big a problem finding out (ask). Once you know the provider, check out this Wikipedia page.
11. Learn your phone so you can text without Looking, except to read messages.
And the most important tip:
Have fun.
