When I first heard about the potential use of using mobile phones in schools as a learning tool, my mind was made up straight away that it was defiantly not a good idea, that it would have a negative impact within the classroom learning environment.
Upon further readings of every body's opinions in Bono'six thinking hats wiki (Which I think is a great way to learn) . There we many uses creatively that I had never thought of , by reading other students thoughts my mind started to sway a little bit and it got me thinking, was there actually a place in schools for mobile phones to be used a learning tool.
I went back on forth on this for a couple of days but kept on coming back to the fact that whilst it could have many positive uses within the classroom there are just too many negatives (or black hats). I think that maybe in the not too distant future mobile phones might be able to be used in the classroom but as of now I think its too early and they will hinder students learning rather than enhancing it
