Smart phones can be used in school as a tool as long as schools would change policies to allow the use of personal devices on their network. Some apps that can be used in classrooms are graphing calculators (replacing the cost of a real one), kindle, gps, compass, geography fact book, music instruments. In addition, not only do musical instrument apps allow you to play them but it also teaches you how to play them.
