As I ask myself what I think about children using "mobile phones in a classroom" it initially brings chills to my spine, because I see distraction bullying chatting and discourse. However when I see the fantastic apps that could be used in learning and the creativity that would be drawn out of children I think perhaps with careful planning the use of mobile phones could be a beneficial learning tool. Using De Bono's Six Thinking Hats analysis, I found this gave me a different view and strategies to use every time I changed hats. De Bono's strategy of approaching a question aims to find varied outcomes, thoughts and feelings. I would find using the De Bono's thinking hats a very useful tool to use in a collaborative group situations. By using this strategy children will think critically and have the ability to change perspectives as they go. De Bono's six thinking hats also presents children with the ability to create their own thoughts and understandings without the peer pressure of other students or teachers views.
