Is this amphibian a frog or a toad?

Today one of my students brought this amphibian to school.  He found it under the steps of his house.  They do not live near a pond or a lake.  Its skin was not dripping wet and had tiny bumps.

We have been comparing the physical features and habitats of frogs and toads in our study of ponds.  We voted 25 to 0 that it is a toad (21 students plus myself, Mrs. Johnstone, Mr. Powers, and Mrs. Watson all voted).  What do you think?
