Coming into this module, I did not have a problem with cell phones in the classroom. I could not understand why teachers had such a problem with them. My 14yr old takes a cell phone to school. I asked him if his fellow students used their cell phone in class. He told me that it was against the rules so why would they. This reinforced to me that if rules are set and teachers support these rules, cell phones will not be a problem. Most of the problems I have seen listed arise from lack of classroom management not form cell phones. If the teachers were really monitoring their classrooms as they should, students would not have the opportunity to misuse their phones. Also if lessons were engaging the children's interest would they be distracted by the cell phone?
