Should students be able to use cell phones during class periods? This is a question a lot of students and parents have asked themselves. The invention of cell phones started a debate for many schools. Many schools accept the use of cell phones but experience a lot of frustration over them. There are many reasons for and against the use of cell phones in schools. People who support cell phone use in schools are usually teenagers. People who disagree with cell phone use in schools are usually teachers or parents, who think cell phones are a distraction. A lot of students see cell phones as a useful device but many see them as a distraction during class. Throughout this essay you'll read about the pros and cons regarding cell phones
The article “Lift the Cell Phone Ban”, David Rapp (2009) addresses cell phones more as a positive impact in classrooms because there are more social apps, reminders such as alarms and calendar events, and provide accessibility. Teachers let students use their cell phones for school purposes instead of being seen as a distraction. After an experiment using Bluetooth networking teachers realized information sharing provided as useful. Having teachers get out of the box intimidates some, but it would be a better idea to give the students a chance since it is a part of their everyday lives. The GoKnow program turns a cell phone into a valuable tool for teachers and students to use for educational purposes and easier to turn in documents. David
Overall, cellphones should be allowed in school for academic use because teenagers use them daily. It would work to the advantage of both the students and the teachers to incorporate cell phones with school work. Education will only continue to evolve as the years go on, and it is essential that technology is incorporated along with
Many students have used their cell phones to share answers to tests and quizzes, and to report inaccurate and offensive information about other students and their school. Cell phones can be distractions in the school environment, evading classroom time and reducing student’s academic success.
Although schools want to extinct cell phones from schools research proves that cell phones make learning a better environment.
Many teachers and adults don’t think cellphones should not be allowed in school because of the distraction they cause. Although people believe students shouldn’t be able to use their phones in classrooms, cell phones should be allowed because music helps students concentrate when working, also they could be used for research purposes, and lastly students could use their phones to communicate with parents, and others.
Many teachers believe that cell phones don’t belong in a classroom because there are several disadvantages. An example maybe a student who uses a cell phone in class has no intension in listening or paying attention to the teacher. This student has a short attention span who cares about socializing more than his/her education. Cell phones can be very disruptive; they can invade people’s privacy and can also be used as harassment or bullying. The usage of cell phones is creating a huge problem particularly when they are used in school.
Over the ages of time, there has been a questionable invention, several considered to be a disaster, but the worst by far is the cell phone. A cell phone is not the worst because it doesn't always work or its design, but rather it provokes problems with distractions, is ruining communication, and contributes to cyber-bullying. Though viewed a cellphone is a helpful tool that most people have access to, it has produced more negative effects on our health and well-being rather than improved ourselves, and our society.
The next topic of discussion is cell phones in classrooms. The article being summarized is entitled The Only Thing We Have to Fear is…120 Characters. In this article, Kevin Thomas and Christy McGee (2012) make arguments for the use of cellphones in classrooms in spite of the fact that 69% have banned them. This paper responds to the many reasons for disallowing their use, and then it goes on to highlight some ideas about why cell phones should be used as educational tools. Both sides of the discussion certainly make valid points.
Lastly, student cell phones detract from the overall learning environment. With all of the disruptions and distractions, so much time would be taken away from the classroom that no sufficient time would be spent actually learning, transforming educators into babysitters and causing the students to be under prepared to competing in
Technology has advanced extremely over the years causing our life style to change drastically and head down a new path. With this technology, the cell phone was created and over the years has advanced itself. The cell phone has become a necessity to many. All ages use this mobile device for either personal or business uses. Higgins states that the amount of cell phones active has increased from “one billion in 2000 to 6 billion.” Although cell phones paly an important role in the lives of many, the negative possibilities could cause destruction to our society.
Even though cell phones have negative effects, they have many positive benefits in today’s society as well. Some of these benefits include keeping in touch, emergency use, constant internet access, and convenient information. I will be discussing these topics below.
In today’s day and age, cell phones are becoming more popular and advanced. The problem is some believe cell phones are a bad influence on society. Although some of their claims are true, I believe cell phones benefit the world more than they harm it. Not only do cell phones allow us to communicate with others with the touch of a button, but they allow us to have direct access to the extensive library of information housed on the internet. Technology is continuously shaping and forming society making every day simpler for the average person. Our phones let us keep in touch with one another, see the latest headlines, and gather new
Are cells phones an important part of learning for students? Phones and/or other electronic device are things that people are overly devoted to. Students are the main ones who are reliable on their phone for information and trending topics. The reliability on phones for students is tremendous and creates ways for students to learn topics that are far from being leaned by teaching. Learning on a phone is an easy access although for some it is not when students do not have the possession of one. These devices are the main problem in school that provoke whether students should or shouldn't be allowed to use them in class. People strongly believe that phones should not be allowed in school while others presume that phones should be used. Phones can be beneficial when used in class to enhance the learning of students.
Every day thousands of people use their cell phones as a major form of communication. The creation of the mobile phone or the cell phone changed the world because it allowed people to stay in touch over long distances. Though the creators of the mobile phone created it for just the porpoise of keeping in touch over long distances the people of the twenty first century have changed the phone. Where before the elite had mobile phones the Twenty first century brought cheaper versions of the original mobile phone. Eventually the phone became the most used piece of technology and form of communication in the history of the world. However, the phone that everyone uses today has lost its purpose, today because of the availability of the phone and the advancements in the phones technology the mobile phone could be more of a pest than a blessing. If we would only use our mobile phones for their original purpose we would see a change in our stress levels, the amount of sleep we get, our intelligence, and even our attitudes.
