Cellphones in Education

I went out looking today on the Internet using UNI's Rod Library and found some good articles that deal with using cellphones in education. So many teachers are so against these that I would like to shed light on the positive uses of these tools. One citation that I found which I cannot find the article is "Students Turn Their Cellphones On for Classroom Lessons". This article was published in Education Week, January 7, 2009 and is not available yet through UNI's Rod Library. I am going to continue to look for this article maybe using Google Scholar. I think another research question could possibly be
  1. Do our students understand cellphone etiquette? Not sure on the wording but I think it would be important to teach this to our kids.

I did a little searching about social networking in the classroom. I also found some good articles dealing with this.
