I'd suggest that they do what we do when we don't have the resources we need in the 'real world'- figure out some way to collaborate with others!

- k-mcgrady 13y agoCollaborate during a test? That usually leads to cheating. It would also likely disadvantage the person they are working with who now has to share resources. Not to mention the fact that if this person doesn't own an iPhone they either won't know how to use it or won't be quick at using it slowing them down (bad in an exam situation). The students who do own iPhones will be faster and will be better because they are more experienced with the tools - not because they are better students.
- ygra 13y agoNot necessarily, although it might be difficult for math tests. In school we had one larger test in German where the teacher left us alone for 4 hours. What I noticed was that we did collaborate to some extent – we shared and discussed ideas. But since we had to write an essay with our interpretation of some piece of literature there wasn't much possibility of "cheating" per se. Simply copying the text from another would not work and copying their ideas outright wouldn't either. And to get at least something of decent length there wasn't the option of fooling around for three hours either. Granted, this was in 11th grade, so we were a bit older already. It may well fail spectacularly in other environments. The teacher knew us for a few years and trusted us, and it worked out.
