Graham, Edward. "Using Smartphones in the Classroom". National Education Association. Web.
2014.
In this article Edward uses examples of how teachers can include mobile devices, mainly cell
phones in the classroom as a learning tool instead of arguing that their useless in the classroom. This article simply states that there are many ways to ensure that smartphones in the classroom are beneficial. One of the examples that he uses is to have the students downloading the app Reminder 101, which reminds and lets students know when and what assignments are due. He also recommends other educational apps that provide a ton of information for students to resource when doing work in the classroom. He also makes a point to acknowledge that the noise level within the classroom goes down because students are actually enjoying the work that they're doing. This article is for teachers who are against the use of mobile devices in the classroom. I believe that this article is written by someone who has the expertise to author the information because he gives examples that he himself uses and how he uses them. This article is up-to-date. I completely agree with this article. I believe, like the author, that teaches need to catch up.
