It seems like the many ways of communication among our teenagers today includes the cell phone, and it's not for voice communication, but for texting. Unfortunately it seems that their cell phones are also their main source of entertainment. Some schools are looking for ways to incorporate this "dedication" to the cell phone and make a positive experience in the classroom. I think that just like the Internet and the social networks, there will be a lot of people reluctant to accept cell phones as an "educational tool". My school district is changing its cell phone policy for next year. High School students will be allowed to used their cell phones during lunch and between classes. Before, cell phones were only allowed before and after school. Teachers will still have control of how the cell phones can be used in the classroom - as long as it has an educational purpose. This could be the right steps towards using the cell phones in school in a positive manner.
