Yea Norman!
I am always amazed by all the dithering around posting homework=20
assignments online- does it take up too much of the teacher's?=20
shouldn't the student be responsible enough to write assignments in=20
the planner? and on and on........

Why not encourage students to snap a picture of the assignment=20
written on the board with a cell phone?
Why not remind students they can use some cell phones to create an=20
audio memo to themselves?

These are just two examples of how cell phones can support learning=20
but it is rare to seem their use permitted or encouraged.
