Educators in FL are looking for ways to block cell phone usage in schools but that made me wonder if there might be more potential educational applications of cell phone usage that are going untapped. If students can use cell phones to cheat, they could certainly use them to collaborate. If they can use them to capture and post video they could certainly use them to enhance their reporting or data gathering efforts. It seems sad to me that some schools might be squashing something merely because its easier to get rid of rather than studying and harnessing it for more productive purposes.
