This would be much stronger if it did not come from the cell phone industry. Sure, the cell phone industry can support this research but if the company is the one doing the research this is going to be seen as just profiteering and not sway any naysayers.

Karen WarnerThis article is about how Smartphones can be utilized as an instructional tool inside the classroom. There is software sponsored by Microsoft that can be programmed into cell phones in order to help the students complete math assignments as well as other assignments in other content areas. It was said that because the students all have cell phones and are familiar with using them, then why not integrate them into the classroom learning environment.

The students used the phones for a variety of tasks, including recording themselves solving problems and posting the videos to a private social networking site, where classmates could watch. The study found that students with the phones performed 25 percent better on the end-of-the-year algebra exam than did students without the devices in similar classes.

Joe ShowkerThis is a topic that has been discussed at technology forums and conferences for several years. "The students used the phones for a variety of tasks, including recording themselves solving problems and posting the videos to a private social networking site, where classmates could watch. The study found that students with the phones performed 25 percent better on the end-of-the-year algebra exam than did students without the devices in similar classes."

Some critics already are denouncing the effort as a blatantly self-serving maneuver to break into the big educational market. But proponents of selling cellphones to schools counter that they are simply making the same kind of pitch that the computer industry has been profitably making to educators since the 1980s.

This is really no different, however, than any other ed tech company. All interactive whiteboard companies, for example, will be happy to tell you why you need one in every classroom

As one commenter on this article points out, the service plan alone negates the cost effectiveness of cell phones in the classroom. A better option would be devices like the iPod Touch that are wifi enabled but do not requre a service plan.

Joan Vinall-CoxCellphones in classrooms? "The study found that students with the phones performed 25 percent better on the end-of-the-year algebra exam than did students without the devices in similar classes." The dark underside is the almost constant monitoring by teachers to ensure no misuse by students.

Add Sticky Note“Cellphones so far haven’t been an educational tool. They’ve been a distraction.”

Could this be because teachers don't know how to use them in an educational setting?

I think that the comment stream associated with this article is evidence of that.

This comment totally misses the point that cell phones will NOT be going away. They will only be increasing their presence. Besides in our classrooms we are using them with GREAT success.

This statement is true of any new technology that enters the ed setting, in my opinion.
