The very first thing that teachers, say on the first day of class is "turn off your mobile phones". Mobile devices have been banned as a disruptive technology in the classroom (LTS, 2007). Recent investigations show however that mobile phones are a potential technology in the students' pocket. For instance, Lynn (2006) outlines how this small machine can be used as a learning tool. This paper looks into this newly developing view on mobile phoning in the classroom, present reasons as to why it can not be underestimated, as well as discuss the risks involved.
