As a high school graduate with plenty of tech knowledge, I know how Rajmund feels. Now, I'm not advocating using games and all in the classroom, and most games on the iPhone require movement and stuff that just can't be played just silently, so I think he wants this for after school. I had a school iPod, and iPad Mini. I used my iPhone all my senior year, and teachers knew it. They also knew, though, that I got my work done. That's the key, there. I downloaded Google docs, had a braille display or keyboard, and did my work on my iPhone and submitted it through email. Then I got on Facebook or played an MUD or whatever Iwanted. I admit, when I first got my iPod, I emailed online friends during class and got caught doing it. Yes, the device was locked, and I did use my school email address to do it. Yes, kids have been caught playing clash of clans, crash of clans, whatever, in class on their iPads. But my point is, class is for class, and when you have a teacher that teaches, you won't have time to play games and such. Our teachers were easy-going, and sometimes we didn't do all that much in some classes. So I'd be online or read a book when Bard Mobile was still the top dog. Now, being older, I still don't have a problem with what I did. I took notes on my iPhone, did my English and French work on my iPod a year prior to the Phone, and even did math on the devices, with the help of UEB. Another point I have to make is that if a student is held back, especially if the student is bright, he will seek ways around things. He, well at least me, I, emailed with the iPod, and got Google voice, with GVMax, so that I could text. No Raymund, this won't work with the braille sense, fore GVMax is no more, sorry. So yes, I texted in class, I texted all the time back then, and when I didn't use the school email address, I used my gamil, which I added. I got caught there too, since I added the address to my step-dad's Android phone to play with it, so my family got involved. Then, I simply had my Google Voice texts sent to my Apple email, so that no one but me could get it. No one found out fter that. And the only reasons why I got caught the other times is because I was careless those times. I have no problems with what I did, because I ultimately learned things about myself and about people in general.
