A newbie here with respect to using the iPhone for educational purposes. The link posted above seems interesting. Professor has students look for relevant information on the iPhone and then has them discuss. Engages students and allows professor to either confirm the correctness or address the problems with erroneous information on the web. One concern with this technology - should the student be responsible for purchasing the technology or should it be the university's responsibility? Or is it just a tech fee similar to a chem lab fee?
