Cell phones should be allowed during class time, because students will be able to search up information that the teacher is providing and can have a better understanding on the information the teacher is providing.

Also if one is in a school where they can not afford tablets or laptops, using a cellphone during class will benefit the teacher because they can show their students exactly where to go and what they should click.

Mia Dalta, a student from Mason High School says “ using technology in everyday life is not that new to us because we grew up using technology.” I believe she is correct to say this. We are all comfortable using cell phones because that is all most teens know is “technology”. The teachers are making class more interactive by using phones as clickers to answer questions, provide feedback on students progress,and also to collaborate on group projects and capture teacher's notes. This can be useful for teachers and students. While a student is working in a group the teacher can comment and the student can then work and be more efficient. I observed that when phones are out in class, most students are successful and more efficient. The best part is all the information we could ever need to be successful

Have you ever heard of the gruesome Columbine High School massacre? This incident occurred on April 20th 1999 and involved two students embarking on a shooting rampage, killing twelve students, a teacher and wounding twenty three others. Unfortunately during this incident, the school 's most easily accessible phone was on the complete other side of the school in the library.

They can also be used to prevent students from getting off task and helping teachers. Phones and tablets should be used responsibly and for education purposes at school. For example, students could do research for English papers, or download apps that give the students extra information on one of the chemical elements in the periodic table.
