1. Should we use cellphones, iPods and YouTube in our classrooms? The real question is HOW should we use cellphones, iPods and YouTube in our classrooms. (S1.3, Pr2.1) [] 2. Should students who have their own laptops to use in the classroom? Any personal mobile technologies such as netbooks, ipods, cellphones, etc have the potential to assist learning. []

3. Should schools provide students with laptops? There are some schools with 1:1 laptop programs, but low-cost personal mobile technologies already exist in the pockets of our students and we need to allow our students to find ethical and responsible ways to use them as learning tools. What schools need to do is make it possible for students to access the web, and practice ‘cloud computing’, through the school network, using their mobile devices. []
