Module 8 Activity 9 Cellphones in the classroom

Cellphones are not allowed in schools in Antigua and Barbuda but their use for learning cannot be ignored.  The potential for cellphones  in the classroom is vast. Students can use them to check for facts, to do research or search for specific information, take pictures of the black/whiteboard for reference later on and to check blogs, emails among other things. They are fully mobile and ubiquitous and most students have cellphones. The cellphone possibilities are endless and perhaps if given the chance it could enhance learning in schools in Antigua and Barbuda. One important consideration is that schools will have to put measures in place to control their use and limit them to the learning at hand.
