My blog posts on April 17th and 20th covered aspects of student use of smart phones in the classroom.  Recently I came across another thought-provoking report about smart phone use in classrooms.

This time teachers are being urged to use their smart phones to record proceedings in class----> specifically, bad behavior by students.  A major teacher association is encouraging teachers to do what other teachers have been sanctioned for.  At the root of the issue is whether or not the classroom is a public forum, as many other parts of the school have been designated.
