Where will students learn skills, etiquette and manners with technology if not in school? We are preparing our students for the future and the workforce of the future- are we not?. Workplaces have rules regarding the use of technology but they also REQUIRE employees to use the technology properly. Mobile phones are sure to be included in that number. If students are not prepared to use the technology properly and efficiently -then we need to ask ourselves- "are we doing our job as educators". We need to stop preparing our students for yesterday's work environment and start preparing them for tomorrow's. Mobile phones were at one time a cute, fun communication accessory, but they are now a vital business tool. Mobile phones are an awesome learning tool but like anything they require proper training.

It gives you the "safety feeling". I for one love that feeling. I disagree, I believe that cell phones in school is a great idea. It gives you the “safety feeling”. I for one love that feeling.

Like they can use it but, when the teacher is speakinjg or showing something that students should put it away if not detention and for tests they have to give it to the teachers so, they know they are not cheating and bomb threats are you serious?
