i think using your smart anything in school for example i find it stupid i dont see how reading something online while the kid would have a tabs open watching spongebob during classmwhat happend to the hard studying that brought some of the greatest minds the world will ever see. the old fashion way not only teaches the kids to talk aloud when they have something to say its not like that anymore. people cant even hold a conversation in our days its sad but americans are fat lazy and technology is only making it more easy to get away with being a stupid fat mess. this generation sucks what happend to the 90`s now?

An interesting idea that could be very useful in class. Using smartphones and tablets would make every room a computer lab. My only reservation is that it would also be allowing free access to all of the apps that distract students in the first place: facebook, twitter, instagram, youtube, all in the palm of their hands--and sanctioned by the school!

I think using smart phones in school would be good & bad at the same time. It would be good to use to find information but bad because it would be a very good distracter !
