Smart Phones-- can they be used in classrooms?

I have heard that smart phones are a form of technology that can be used in the classroom. I guess I am just unsure how these can be a positive attribution. I would think that students would misuse the technology and use it for other purposes. Also, if a student wants to pull out there phone to look something up on the internet or use a calculator, do you?

Someone in my other class mentioned that there is a way to set up a poll/clicker questions and you just text your answer to the number to get accounted for. She said that many students liked this because they got to use their phones in school. I would definitely think that would be the case since so many are "addicted" to their phones.
