After completing an activity to see how viable Mobile phones are in the classroom, I have come to a number of conclusions. Firstly the concept of bringing technology into the classroom is foremost related to 21st century learning, a change such as implementing Mobile devices into classrooms is necessary for students to learn. A Mobile phone in the classroom represents more then just a learning device it has the capabilities of communicating and networking on social levels which may be detrimental to the learning in classrooms. However such usage of devices in the context of learning and education can be extremely beneficial. I think that Mobile phones in this time are primarily used to network and socialise therefore I believe they have no place in the classroom, but a similar device such as an electronic tablet with a structured and limited network capabilities confined for classroom use would be a much better tool to use.
