Not banning cell phones...

My question of the week involves whether I should allow kids to use their own devices in class...I have been wondering if my reticence has more to do with my 20th century upbringing than modern best practices...after all, a text is like when a student is communicating with another student at their table. Most of the time it is over before I've had time to register it, and no harm done...I do continue to have a problem with those people using their phones almost all the time...they are like my chatty kids in the electronic sense.

I found this article which discusses some of these issues:
