Smartphones And Cellphones

Teenagers must consider the importance of being concentrated when studying. Otherwise, we won’t be able to learn in a good way. Things are done in a better way if we do them each at a time. Most of the effects of cellphone messaging on teenagers may be negative due to the fact that they’re used just to chat and gossip and not for important stuff, as used by adults.

(Bergman) Joe Blatt, faculty director of the Technology, Innovation, and Education Program at Harvard Graduate School of Education states, “There is substantial evidence to show the kind of learning that is possible for kids using mobile devices-when properly supported and managed by teachers who make the best use of them-can be powerful learning”(Blatt). The teacher who is considered “sage on the stage.”-is fading.(Boston Globe).
