Cell Phones in the Classroom

I do not really think cell phones in the classroom is a great idea.  While most of them have cell phones, not all of them do, and I don't think it is smart to automatically assume that every child will have a cell phone with internet access and apps on it.  Also, I think that cell phones can be extremely distracting to students, with all of their tempting apps & games at the tips of their fingers. They also can go off at any time, and the sounds can disrupt and stop class.  I do think that apps can be extremely helpful, though to the learning process, so in the future I think the use of cell phones in the classroom will be the norm.
