I don't know that the curriculms even allow for this kind of flexibility, which is a shame. And then there's the whole piece of teachers needing to be as adept technologically as they are with the subjects they are teaching/directing. For teachers (today) that's just hard to ask. I don't know that it will be as much an issue within a generation or half-gen (7-10yrs) though. I'd do it though. I'd totally be rocking my classes with smartphones over an ad-hoc network via the mobiles, a smartboard, and a class wiki. Indeed, this is not just possible, but can and should be used.
