A primary school teacher is using mobile phones in a ground-breaking initiative to help children learn.

Sharon Tonner believes phones can be a powerful educational tool – but her ideas come as fellow teachers voice growing concern over their use to film playground attacks or to post illicit pictures of staff on the internet.

In some schools pupils have been banned from switching phones on or bringing them in at all. But Ms Tonner, at Dundee High junior school, is trying to turn round this anti-mobile culture. As the school's first ICT specialist, she teaches primary sevens to use Bluetooth, camera, video and voice recorder functions and says other teachers could use these to help pupils learn.
