Cell Phones in School

Matt Beitscher

            I agree with the writer of this article. I think that the modern abilities of the cell phone make it useful in the learning environment. The possible uses for cell phones in the classroom that were mentioned are all fantastic. Writing down notes and memorizing orations and lectures is very inefficient if you have these devices. The cell phone can record a lecture or take a picture of a blackboard full of notes for further review. This way, there is no error because the notes on the board are exactly the same as the notes in the picture. Another possible use that wasn’t mentioned is using smart phones as a reference, like a dictionary or a translator. The only problem with using the calculator is that students who need a graphing calculator can’t use their phones.
