Is the Cell Phone the New Pencil? | Edutopia - 1 views

  •  
    "Is the phone the new pencil?" article I found was very interesting and can help teachers be more open minded when it comes to technology. Yes, often teachers as well as parents think that technology is taking over many things even when t comes to education, but in a way it is keeping our children's mind working and thinking about what they are going to write. However, the downfall in my opinion is that are children using correct grammar? Also, how does this affect the social skills when it comes to being face to face versus on a screen. There's many factors that even out the usage of cell phones and pencils.
