Part of me thinks the younger teachers used cell phones and mobile devices when they were in HS and college and for them it's just another tool to find information, much like going to a book shelf and grabbing an encyclopedia was for those of us who are older.  They're not aghast at the thought of a student pulling out a phone to look up information.  For schools that don't have universal computer access, it's a way for almost every student to have a level playing field.  Problem is managing that and figuring out how to allow them to search for information and not just use the phone for chats, messages, tik tok, etc.

Regardless technology in the classroom is going one-way and that is towards more of it.  Both my kids are out of HS and they had laptops that were hooked up to the school's wifi from day 1 as freshmen.  They were expected to know how to use them as a tool for research, doing assignments and turning in assignments.   Granted school districts across the country aren't evenly funded but expect the technology to keep moving forward.
