Asking "why" and looking outside the walls of our schools may lead us to different visions and new directions.

I see the “addiction” students have to their cell phones as an opportunity to engage in learning since I view cell phones as another teaching tool, not a distraction.

our classroom, we use our cell phones and other devices primarily in a literacy development fashion.

allowing cell phones in classrooms provides the opportunity to discuss proper cell phone etiquette as well as “netiquette.”

unless traditional teaching practices morph to adapt and fully take advantage of what mobile devices can afford, some fear the promise will go the way of all the technology collecting dust in the corner of the classroom. Worse, it might eventually lead to what everyone unequivocally dreads: the mechanization of teaching.
