Cell phones are the fastest, easiest, and most cost-effective digital tool available for today's learners. You don't have to wait for them to turn on. Everyone knows how to use them. They don't require an onsite technician to use them. They're always with you and almost everybody has access to one, making it easy to communicate, connect, and learn. Students love using their cell phones and while some adults view them as the enemy, others have learned to embrace these devices, realizing what a powerful learning tool they are.Here are some tools you can use to get started in using cell phones for learning at school, in environments where they are allowed, or away from school.
