Cell phones are everywhere, but should they be in classrooms? This week the hosts approach the question of the appropriate use of cell phones and educational mobile technology in schools. Is it better to ban phones from schools altogether, or should we teach students about the appropriate use of phones in a variety of environments? Katie discusses some of her favorite educational apps and websites. Chelsea learned about RetroPie, and Katie discusses the Oscar-winning movie Parasite.
