"Stand outside any U.S. high school at dismissal time and face the doors. As you watch the students file out, you will see them pull out all sorts of devices—most of them banned in school— and get on with the way they live their lives, often viewing school as nothing more than a necessary evil in an otherwise modern life. For most students, the tools and talents they employ outside of school have little place in their academic classes. "

Leadership + Mobile Technologies = Educational Benefits

It takes leaders to make technology truly disruptive. It takes leaders to see how to take a technology and gain benefit from it
Education needs some disruptions. Education needs some of the benefits that accrue when leaders step up and see opportunities and take risks on new ideas and new technologies. More of the same will result in more of the same. Longer school days? More of the same. Electronic whiteboards, or EWBs? More of the same. (EWBs could be used in a disruptive manner, but they tend to be used to support teacher-centric, stand-in-the-front-of-the-classroom instructional strategies.)

- So what opportunities are potentially disruptive?
- K12 needs to integrate cell phones into its classrooms.” Remember: Cell phones are, first and foremost, just computers, albeit small ones, that have radios that enable those computers to make voice calls and send texts. Turn off that radio and stop 90 percent of problems that cell phones cause in school. And stop worrying that the screen and keyboard are too small. Those are adult concerns; they are not roadblocks for America’s texting-adept youth. Indeed, the mobile generation sees the fits-in-your-pocket screen and keyboard as positive features, not annoying bugs.
- cell phones are an essential tool outside of the classroom
- With the costs for mobile technologies continuing to plummet, American education can finally realize the dream of 1:1, with each child having his or her own (mobile) computer for use 24/7. And that computer is connected, instantly and always, to the World Wide Web. This is an unprecedented, never-before-experienced opportunity. Increase the opportunities for learning—not hours in a school—and we will see a doubling of achievement. Notice too that the digital divide just evaporated. All children—rich, poor, urban, suburban, talented and gifted, struggling—have the same access 24/7.
  It is inevitable that cell phone computers will be an essential component of the K12 classroom. We need to use the tools of the 21st century to teach 21st-century skills and content. The only question is this: When will educational leaders stand up and adopt this disruptive technology? Being a leader now brings benefits to your students now. Sooner or later? Your decision.

ntegration Ideas
Using the RSS option, students can keep up with current events; news, stocks, innovation, local happenings via SMS on their cell phone wherever they are. This is nice for any class that integrates current events into the curriculum. By creating their own RSS keywords, students can follow their own choice of newspapers, blogs, and web resources to get their current events. They could even compare and contrast the accuracy of the news and the reporting with each other.
