Default Re: Electronic dictionaries in class! Good or bad?

My students here in China are (apparently) too poor for electronic dictionaries. When I was in Taiwan / Hawaii, though, my classes were full of them. I agree with the zero retention problem but, I'm much more concerned with eliminating mp3 players and cell phones than dictionaries.
