Teachers and professors are starting to use cell phones as educational tools in their classrooms, after previously banning them as distractions.

Abilene Christian Univ. in Texas is giving two-thirds of its freshmen a smart phone that they’re expected to use for receiving handouts in class and brainstorming.
