I just wanted to comment on the above. I disagree, I work in a school that charges and disciplines for cellphones. You wouldn't believe how many will willingly and eagerly call home to explain how their phone was taken up. Mom and Dad are typically easily persuaded to come help out. Other than that you made many valid points. Believe me, no student wants to go to his parents and let them know that they need $25 to get their phone back… and explain why.

Using cell phones creatively in classrooms is well evaluated here but I think one point is missing here; we are promoting a culture that makes our fingers speak for us. To some extent it is good but, classroom discussions should not be compromised. One can use phones in other ways creatively like searching and finding solutions to the problems Hello,

Our first project had students collect data about how children get to school each day. Two days a week for three weeks our students came to school thirty minutes early and recorded short interviews, took photos, and sent text messages to a central site. They used class time to organize the information. Eventually they will report their findings to our administrators. They are learning to use their personal mobiles in teams for real time research.

We are in class and our teacher showed us your website.We agree with you vision for cell phones in the classroom.The way we see this is if we use our cellphones in class is tohelp us organize notes, Record lectures given by long winded teachers, and search the internet for classroom textbook .We can use them to start pre writing essays and to write in our classroom blog. We know that this could also be a huge risk for teachers with some kids cheating.There are alwayss some kids who try to bend the rules but it is a trust thing.At our school we are not aloud to have our cellphones in sight of the teacher, I f we do they get taking away and our parents have to come pick them up.We think we should be aloud to advance our educational carreers Hello!!

It would make class easier,we would be able to go online for answers,to questions. It would make our class more organized like say we had to do assignments for homework but forgot it, we could get it off our phone and show the teacher. It would eliminate the need for book, paper, pen and pencils. We could do it all on our phones. We could also use it to calculate math programs that are to hard to do it in your heads.

We think cell phones can be used in many different educational situations. But they also have their down falls. For example, if our schools were to fund IPhones for each class, we could access internet from our desks, turn in tests by email, access different applications that can further our learning experiences, and discuss without interrupting the class, if we're having problems understanding something. We could also create more organized notes and in a quicker amount of time.

Also, you could research what is "big or hot" in popular culture. You could also use your calculator and other apps. And access your teachers blog , so more teacher could interact with their students outside of school. A good way to use a cell phone in class would be if you research and text answers to the teacher.
