New math app a student dream or teacher nightmare?

A new smartphone app may reignite a debate about how technology should be used in education.

PhotoMath, by London-based software company MicroBlink, is an app available for iOS and Windows phones (Android is reportedly coming in 2015) that allows users to scan a math problem with their camera and get an answer instantly.

Engadget reports the app will show you the steps to get the answer.

The app maker is marketing the tool as a next-generation calculator, but some are likely to question if this technology is helping or hurting students.

What do you think about the app? Is this a tool that will help students absorb difficult math concepts or is it just a tool to help students cheat?
