Could Involving Cell Phones into Students Education Improve Learning and Safety? One of the most important rules given to the students at school may be causing problems for the students and the teachers: Cell Phones.

Evidence shows that child predators are ascending, if a student was at school or on their way home and something bad was to happen then the student would be able to pull out their phone and contact their parents or 911. Although students seem to get easily distracted by cell phones, it is still a great safety precaution to have them. Therefore having a cell phone in school could really help the students to become in an easy contact with their parents and away from danger. Having cell phones in school can also help students to be elated and feel motivated to attend school.

Although students should be able to succeed without a device to motivate them, it's a really useful tool that could benefit in multiple ways. This suggests that having a cell phone in school benefits both students and teachers according to their behavior and how happy the students would
Although phones help with the learning process they are used a social status. Most kids have cell phones, and for those of which don’t, the ones who do share.

What, you think using cellphones at school is a good idea. Now days cell phones have so many used apps and while student's are at school they are attempting to look on their phones. Everywhere you go in this present time all you see is toddlers on up to adults with phones because they are so addicted to technology. People would rater buy new phones that the company comes out with instead of buying things that they need because they think they can survive with a cell phone. Cell phones are very helpful but so many people have took advantage of that and have become so addicted to them. Now days in this particular time everything is at everyone's fingertips and they get what they want when they want it. When they ask someone for something they want or need that they can't get on a cell phone, they expect to get it right at that second that they ask for it. Using cell phones at school is a bad idea. School's should not allow student's to use their cell phones at school.
Most schools do not allow the use of cell phones in school or in class, so the school feels like changing their policy of cell phone use might be a bad idea. Students could take advantage or miss use the privilege of phones in class. There will always be students who act out in class, but the school must discipline those who do and reward those who do not.
Central Idea: The use of cell phones in school is great for educational purposes, social life, and as a safety tool
The debate of allowing cell phones in schools is ongoing. Many feel that cell phones should not be allowed in schools because they may be a distraction to learning. However, there are also multiple reasons why cell phones should be allowed in school. Some of those reasons include educational purposes, serve as a communication tool, and also be used as a resource for the future of many students. Cell phones are present everywhere and many people, regardless of age, use a cell phone or mobile device every day. This paper will provide a more detailed explanation of why cell phones should be allowed in schools.
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.
Students should be able to have their phones on them in school. One reason they should be able to have their phone on them is they have educational benefits like a calculator or a dictionary. Another reason they should be able is so they can stay in contact with their parents. By students having there phone on them it can help to reduce anxiety. Some people think that by letting students have their cell phone on them it could distract them and some other kids. Although cell phones can distract students, they can help students by having educational benefits, reducing anxiety making students feel safer.
Students should be permitted limited use of mobile phone while attending their schools. Not all students use their mobile or cellular phones while at school; many do. Not all students who use their cell phone in school are using them during class. Students and educational staff come down very hard on students for using cell phones during class session, in many cases, justifiably so. Yet, there are instances when mobile phone use during school is not a distraction or threat to the students' attention and education.
Every school system always makes a big deal over students using cellphones in class. We always see teachers on their cell phones during the school day and don’t get any repercussion. I agree that students should be allowed during class to have usage of their cell phones. Maybe the student was doing some work from another class that they missed or taking notes on something that’s important for the lesson they had from another class. School systems should ease up on how strict the policy is and allow students to use cell phones during the school day. Students could have ways to allow them to be interactive and participate on the lesson in class from their phones. Students can have different ways to research topics for a report or presentation that they were given. Students might have an emergency or no way to get home and need to call an adult to assist them. There are many ways that cell phones in school are beneficial but let’s sum it down to three reasons.
You are sitting in class and your teacher hands you an assignment. You’re sitting there trying to be productive and get your work done, but there are too many distractions. Have you ever wished that if you could have your phone to block out all the noises things will go a lot easier? Most students at this age have a phone on them at all times, but this could be seen as a hindrance and distraction in class. Although some people believe cell phones could have its benefits. It’s true that allowing students to use their phones in class could be distracting. Nevertheless, we should implement the ability to use cell phones in class. Furthermore granting students the liberty to use their smartphones as a tool. Thus we should allow smartphones because of the resourcefulness and reliability of smartphones. Accordingly students may show more productivity. This privilege also allows students to communicate with others in school for school
You can probably tell that I am for phones in schools one of my reasons bing i, using your phone in class helps keep you engaged in your work more. (Source E) says “ The kids were pumped to use their taboo devices”, being “ able to use something yours excites you and keeps you more on task.” “It’s a fun way to stay motivated.” Musallam says all this in Source E he’s saying that the times he has used technology it makes his kids engaged in what they’re doing and gets them more excited about school. From what Musallam explains it seems to be that the kids are always engaged in work and happy about school. These quotes help me prove that phones DO have a use in school. Which is why using them with some limitations is a good thing. We can keep students interested, but have rules so they never
Technology plays a key role in high school classrooms all across the United States. It helps students to learn in many different subjects including mathematics, composition, literature, geography, history, and numerous others. When envisioning technology in high school classrooms, are cell phones in the picture? Cellular devices are capable of countless features. They can help students to know immediately when they have misspelled a word or possibly even take a poll in the classroom. In addition to this, cellular devices are also exceedingly convenient because they can be easily stored away. They can be carried in hand or even just stored in a small pocket. Implementing the use of cell phones in high school classrooms will guide students to learn more with use of the contemporary technology.
People use cell phones on the grounds that it’s portable as well as its high amount of functions and speed. Unlike a computer, which takes a long time to log on and open a web browser, this logs on with a swipe and touch to access the internet. This means that you will have the ability to execute something quickly before you forget it. Unfortunately, this feature can be freely used for the wrong purposes. It’s size and quick speed will mean that someone can simply finish something non-productive extremely quickly without a teacher noticing. Consequently, it will mean that they will not be listening and no one is going to give a care. Cell phones are an incredibly educational tool only if used properly. Furthermore, they are an helpful and harmful in numberless amounts of ways. Therefore, what decides if cell phones are educational tools depends on you, the user. In
School is right around the corner. Some students are bubbling over with excitement, ready to start the new school year. Others are dreading the return. In preparation of class beginning, school supply lists are sent out. Pencils, notebooks, folders, and pens are all found on the list. However, there is one item that can’t be found, yet is seen in almost every classroom in America. Cell phones have become an evident part of school life, both in an academic and personal way. But are phones helping or hurting students? This controversy has been examined by professionals and parents alike. Some believe that phones are a tool and should be integrated into classroom activities. Others find them as an unnecessary distraction that is preventing cognitive learning. Through surveys conducted at local high schools, opinions from multiple teachers and administrators, and personal experience, it is found that a student’s education is negatively affected by the integration of cell phones in the classroom. This is caused by a lack of focus, cheating, drama, and disruptions in the class setting. Then, a solution is proposed in hopes of resolving the issue caused by cellular devices.
Students should not be able to use their cell phones during school hours is because they are a distraction. Students can not comprehend if they are texting during class. They will be on games, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. For example, a student's cell phone just beeped. The cell phone has just distracted the other students. Cell phones are not only distracting to students, they are distracting to teachers. The teacher has to stop teaching and wait for the student to turn of his/her phone. Another way that cell phones can be a distraction is that most students like to watch videos on their cell phones while the teacher is teaching. For example,
