Students today have information at their fingertips as they hold smart phones that can introduce them to vast array of learning opportunities. However does this instruction sound familiar to you? All phones should be turned off immediately. Can everyone bring their phones to the front of the class and collect them after the lesson. How do we view their devices as a blessing or a curse? Are we doing our learners a disservice by not guiding them on how to maximize their personal devise to enhance their learning? "Always on, always connected mobile devices in the hands of students has the potential to dramatically improve educational outcomes." (Irwin Jacobs 2013)
