Tuesday Feb. 16th Paper: Cell Phones Are the New Teacher?

The article that caught my eye the most today was on the idea being pushed in which cell phones will be the new teacher in class rooms.
Research was done by a company called Qualcomm ,who makes cell phone chips, to draw a connection between kids learning more with subjects like math and cell phones.
Many people are angry, saying this takes away from the basics of education which have been around since the beginning. However, I see this idea as a long time coming, a natural progression in a way. Think about it: we already use computers in schools and they have proven to be very beneficial in many areas such as research and creating widely used formats for papers.
Like the article says, kids are on their cell phones almost 24/7 and thus combining their like of the tool they will be using and valuable information, learning could even come off as fun..imagine that.
Something to think about.
