  Thanks, Jonathan. David - a good question. I think there are only a real minority of cases where phones (or computers, or any other tool) can "educate" in isolation. They are better used as tools / components / contributors to a larger activity that results in meaningful learning. So yes, certainly useful as sources of information (getting stuff out), but so much more valuable when you also start using them as tools to create / store / put stuff in. This is where the real transformational nature of smartphones can start kicking in, and tyhe boundaries between in-school and out-of-school start to blur Most of our early m-learning work was with kids who were excluded, or for other reasons not engaged in traditional education. We were not trying to add value where things were working, but rather find ways to repair where things were not. But it would appear that many teachers are finding value in these findings inside more traditional classes too!
