At the beginning of this school year a school in Florida added internet able cell phones to their list to buy for the school year. My cousin goes to this school, the thought is that most students have access to this type of technology and use it anyway so we should channel it into the lessons. There was an article written about how cell phones in the classroom can be a learning tool to help enhance the students education. It is called Wireless network provides more flexible learning.
The use of cell phones in the classroom has both positives and negatives, the teachers will have to be very stern in when the phones are used and that they are only used when needed to achieve a project. It would be very easy for the students to be on internet sights like facebook instead of doing their research. I also believe there are positives to this, where this is not what I am used to it is what the students today are used to. Internet on cell phones is almost old to them, by having phones in the class room it would be taking something that the students know and use daily and applying it toward their education.
