The Gumley House Convent School &#8212; a small, Christian School for girls ages 11 to 18 &#8212; in London has laid out its plan to use give Apple&#8217;s smartphone to a select group of 30 students as a test educational measure. Previous efforts we&#8217;ve seen to rope the iPhone into modern education have been mostly at the collegiate level, but Gumley&#8217;s plan is still a bit vague.
