We are preparing students for adult life; we should
therefore allow them to use the tools that they will be using in their adult
life. If we are preparing our students for life after school, we should allow
them to use the tools they will be using when they get there. How many jobs can
you think of right now where a smart phone is not beneficial? Mechanics order
parts on their phone, engineers view blueprints, doctors calculate dosages, and
grocers check inventory. The list is endless. By the time our students enter
their professions, the need to utilize mobile technology will be even stronger.
Not preparing our students for that world is negligent.
Well on the other side……
We should not have cell phones in school because if they are
going off like someone is calling them they will be distracting, the students
could cheat on test, plus students wouldn't pay attention in class because they
will be too distracted texting others and playing games on their cell phones. Students
don't focus on learning, and it causes them to get bad grades.

We needed a projector for our presentations in India and we did the usual market research and negotiations. Our surprise came when the chosen supplier announced an extra discount to co-operate with our efforts to disseminate the Human Values in business environments. tablet pc
