Mobile phones are being increasingly used as a teaching aid in the classroom despite the risk of students uploading footage on to video-sharing websites to name and shame their teachers. The Sydney Morning Herald reports.

In the UK, guidelines are being developed to protect the privacy of teachers and students when mobile phones are used to film in classrooms.

The NSW Department of Education said individual schools were responsible for developing their own mobile phone protocols.

The paper suggests that mobile technologies can enhance teacher and student learning.
