Mobiles at school don’t harm kids
New research by Michigan State University has found that mobile phone use by young people doesn’t appear to do any harm to their educational achievement.
A three-year study of students from 20 schools found that using mobiles had no effect on the educational results of a group of 12-year-olds.
I’m sure teens will welcome the news by continuing to text message in class! 
The study also looked at video game use which showed mixed results:
while the researchers found a strong relationship between video games and lower results, gaming did not appear to affect skills in mathematics and actually had a positive relationship with visual-spatial skills.
Interesting news for all those involved with young people, but specifically those in school environments. How can this research be incorporated into lessons?
