Abstract	This study investigated the educational use of cell phones at two Syrian education establishments. The research sample consisted of (n = 184) students from the Department of Teacher Education at Tishreen and Damascus Universities. During the study, students filled in a self-report 17-item questionnaire. Survey results imply that cell phone use encourages students (41.30%) to acquire higher technological skills. In addition, (40.76%) of students who participated in the research also used the internet on their cell phone to look up related information. Further results showed that students at Tishreen University used the internet on their cell phone for more prolonged educational purposes than their peers at Damascus University. (As Provided).
