No, cos then they wouldn't be allowed to teach writing, which is quite a fundamental technology for education.

Is just that I view issuing smartphones or consumer tablets in a classroom to be about as useful and productive as issuing games consoles.

Why do you need technology to teach writing? Many of us learned writing when the only electricity in the classroom powered the lights.

Educational Luddism shouldn't favor subjects.

Writing is a technology.
