It’s a smartphone, droid or iphone. It’s a netbook or an ipad or an ipod touch. We are all carrying them around especially our kids. Let’s start using them to learn. Let’s start using them in the classroom. Districts, why spend so much money on computer labs, when most everybody has what they need in their pocket. Teacher’s get yourself a PLD. Learn to use it.
