Phones can be distracting in school, but so is the pick-up game of football that’s happening outside the window.  There are so many positives to pushing better technology into the classroom—better organization and being able to conduct labs and other exercises that weren’t possible before among them.  They’re not right for every purpose or setting, but the demonization of phones (basically people saying that phones are ruining kids’ concentration) has been overblown.
