Our class blog is edm310.blogspot.com/. I am replying to your post as part of an assignment for EDM310 class instructed by Dr.Strange and Mr. Tashbin. I couldn't agree with you more when you say that, "cell phones in the classroom is brilliance". I myself being 26 years old can't always seem to keep up with a notebook now that I have the option of using technology to keep track of my daily plans and lessons. With out my Blackberry or mac I would probably be lost. However, as an educator I understand that we must keep a close eye on what the children are doing during a test or quiz, but it has always been that way. Cheating with a cell phone is no different that cheating with a piece a paper the kid made the night before. After thinking about about this I could come up with only one difference. That difference is they can put more information on a cell phone apposed to one piece of paper, but either way you look at it cheating is wrong and I don't think a child having a cell phone in the classroom is bad a idea. I will be following you post for the next few weeks. You can contact me at: krasovichmayedm310.blogspot.com Hi my name is May Krasovich and I attend the University of South Alabama.

Let them all put their agenda on their phones! As for distractions, let's see if there are doodles in their agendas. Paper does not make people stay focused.
