Let them have their phones - The Future of the Classroom

Hi All,

I recall a time not so far back when the concept of allowing students to use their mobile phones in the classroom was considered the stuff of nightmares. Today, there are thinkers in the space opening the debate up for wider discussion and in some sample cases, they are actually applying this thinking in the real world and with some outstanding results.
At SWOT, we are always keen to see schools and teaching staff, embracing technology in the classroom. This is why I have been filled with great joy and anticipation at the fantastic work taking place across the UK, backed by Learning Without Frontiers, Apps for Good and others.

Above you will find a great link which brings forward the discussions surrounding the ideas of allowing students to bring their own devices in to the classroom, but further, to embrace the use of these devices in the learning process. For more on this subject you can link to the LWF site here too. http://www.learningwithoutfrontiers.com/
