Reflection:
I am a firm believer that mobile devices should be allowed in the classroom. In the article and video provided I believe it gives compelling evidence towards both teachers and students benefiting from allowing mobile devices to be allowed in classrooms. It gives both the teachers and the students the ability to adapt to the changing times of technology and use it to it's full potential.
I too believe that mobile devices should be allowed in the classrooms and that they can be very beneficial to the learning process. There are so many apps that can be used to go along with the educational process that it is crazy not to allow it.
