Research - Students say using tech to cheat isn't cheating (should we ban cellphones?)
I really have to smile at this article. I have been begging teachers to take note and "get with the programme", but instead they responded with a call to ban cellphones. Hallooo! It is not going to stop the cheating and as the report state it does not just include cellphones, it includes the internet as well. Shall we also just ban the internet too?
I can understand that the students do not view it as cheating, they feel that they are actually being innovative (if not creative) and it is their teachers problem if they are not bringing technology into the equation.
I think we should think about the way we assess....
I need to go blog about this.....or maybe I should just go and plagarise someones post- which will be more fun....????? ;-)

Cellphones as Instructional Tools (free webinar)
This free event is scheduled for Thursday, July 23, at 4 p.m. Eastern time. Cellphones have been called “the new paper and pencil” or “the new laptop,” and they could be in the hands of as many as 10 million to 15 million schoolchildren in the next few years. For their instructional potential and ability to connect students to the Internet, mobile devices are quietly making their way into schools in the United States and abroad. What does your district, school, or classroom need to make this technology leap? Guests will discuss policy and implementation issues and offer practical curriculum ideas for every subject.
