Module 1 - Cellphones in the classroom

For years, cell phones have been a touchy issue when it comes to the classroom. Each school has its own policy on cell phones. It was rather interesting reading the posts and the various views as there were some good ideas of the cell phones use in class. But i wonder, how many of us would really use the cell phones in the classroom and how effective it will be when it comes to learning. It is the hardest device to monitor as and using the data plan it will be even harder to set privacy setting. Then again, how many students have a smart phone, and how many parents are willing to by one for their children. What of the underprivileged who won't be able to afford such? Will they be left out or do we share our very personal device with them
