Khaddage, Ferial, Lanham, Elicia and Zhou, Wanlei 2009, Mobile phones as a learning device : is it time to stop the ban?, in ML 2009 : Proceedings of the Mobile Learning 2009 international conference, IADAS, [Barcelona, Spain], pp. 347-350.
It is now time for teachers as well as colleges to make a place for mobile learning within the classroom setting. Teachers should be encouraged to integrate mobile phones for teaching and learning within the classroom, as they can be seen as an effective learning tool for students of all ages. We believe that mobile phone bans in colleges should be reviewed and reconsidered. This paper draws on some important aspects which mobile phones can bring into the classroom; it illustrates how mobile phones can fit seamlessly in a normal classroom environment; and the advantages that they provide. A possible integration method which encourages collaboration among students and teacher will be discussed and proposed.
