This chapter focuses on the potential benefits of using cell phones in learning. Although the media often emphasize the reasons why educators do not or should not consider cell phones as learning tools, it is important to contemplate the other side of ehe argument—why educators should consider cell phones as learning tools. This chapter briefly describes the research in literacy education, learning technologies, and youth studies that supports innegrating cell phones into schools. At the same time, it is still important to explore the common concerns that educators have with integrating cell phones into their classrooms, and chapter 2 explores the many reasons why cell phones are controversial for classroom instruction.
