First thing I thought of too!

I'm more middle of the road and do agree with Michael on this. Classrooms are for learning, not distractions. I can't think of any productive reason for someone doing anything with one during class. Twenty-something years ago, the class clown decided to take a picture of the blackboard rather than taking a bunch of notes (like the rest of us had been doing). It was funny because it was unusual, but it blew the train of thought. Not that I was the greatest student or anything...
