Sorry to see your posting so late... It is very interesting issue Richmond! I think a teacher who let his students use their phones and internet during a test have a great confidence in them. He must either trust them so much not to cheat or simply do not care if they cheat (=his purpose is not their test scores). You know - there are different ways to evaluate students except the ordinary paper and pencil test. This other type of evaluation could be much more difficult to implement, but is possible. Maybe this is what he is doing.
Since I do not have my own class right now, I wonder what practicing teachers in our class would say about that.
