In my opinion, there is no place for mobile phones within the classroom. The detracting factors far outweigh any positive contributions this form of ICT can make to a learning experience. The inability for a Learning Manager to have control over an activity on mobile phones is somethings that raises concern.
The following link takes you to a site which presents a rather balanced argument for mobile phones and other mobile devices as learning tools for the classroom.

As you can see there are numerous positives which could potentially be extremely beneficial if the detracting factors can be eliminated or controlled. Perhaps more effort than it's worth?
