Cell phones are an important part of our society and their main use is communication. They keep students in touch with the rest of the world by giving them the power to interact with it. In the old days, if you forgot to bring your lunch, you had to rely on the school office calling home for you. Now, students have the ability to solve their own problems and handle certain emergencies on their own.
Cell phones also allow students to keep in touch with their friends and students at other schools. While not directly beneficial to education, better relationships can lead to higher self-esteem and reduce isolation, which is good for everybody. In the same way, camera phones allow students to capture the kinds of memories that help build a solid school culture. In some cases, they can act as documentation of misbehaviors because they provide evidence and prevent bad behaviors.
Academically, the cell phone can record a video or an audio of the lessons that may need to be reviewed later. And just imagine if classes could be easily recorded for students who are absent. What if they could even be streamed and seen from home instantly?
