I am a couple of days behind and just got around to reading Will Richardson's post about a middle school in NYC that confiscated cell phones of students. From his entry:
"First, it teaches them that they don’t deserve to be empowered with technology the same way adults are. Second, that the tools that adults use all the time in their everyday lives to communicate are not relevant to their own communication needs. Third, that they can’t be trusted (or taught, for that matter) to use phones appropriately in school."
How ironic. Here are some appropriate uses of cell phones... let's teach them!

I think this great knowing that society is giving everyone a chance to succeed. I am excited that with the technology that is out there, it's about time for edcucators to see the importance of how cell phones can be used in more ways than one! I also think that homework assignments can be sent to students via phone text. This works as a day planner for students to reflect on when not sure what's going on, or perhaps if you miss a class, then you'll have it via the cell phone!

It is almost a known fact that, in every institution a camera phone or a multimedia phone doesn't considered good for students due to it's misuse. But this is for the first time, i have read an article showing the advantage of these hi tech multimedia devices. Yes, the every coin has two sides, thus these gadgets are extremely useful too.
