There are so many different technologies to choose from, but one that seems to be quite common among people of all ages, are cell phones.

Scaccia states, “One reason students fail is because of distractions in the classroom, specifically the cell phone.” The author is implying that students are using cell phones in class and its taking away from their learning. From my experiences in high school, teachers would stop in the middle of a statement to ask students repeatedly to put their phones away. As a result, teachers would lose track of what they were explaining. A student and teacher moving at the same pace through a lesson is the best way for a student to take proper notes, ask questions, and understand the information giving. Having to stop over and over throws the class flow off balance. Teachers can become frustrated because classes run on a schedule and they may lose out on time. I wasn’t someone that used my cell phone in class, so it was very frustrating and hard to stay focused when my train of thought was interrupted by those on their phone. When the teacher would suddenly stop to address the student using the cellphone, the entire class is now focused on that student. This would happen several times in a 45 minute class period. When it came time to complete my homework, my notes were incomplete and I couldn’t recall key points. I agree that cell phones are huge distraction, but I don’t think banning them all together is the right thing to do.

Distracting students is the biggest issue. When our phones vibrate, we get a notification, or we see our phone light up we feel drawn to look at it no matter where we are. Even if it’s in class. When learning, students are known to make eye contact with the teacher while they’re talking, which enhances the learning experience. So, when we aren’t focusing on the teacher and we are focusing on our phones, what are we really learning? We don’t retain what the teacher is saying therefore we don’t do good when it comes time for the test, in turn making grades drop. Which in some cases can cause students to get off track of their graduation requirements. So, when my high school enforced a cellphone policy at the beginning of this year, everyone groaned and complained. Saying this isn’t going to help the cell phone usage at the school. A quarter has past and teachers are seeing an improvement in grades compared to this time last year. Maybe disconnecting from our phones isn’t so bad if it is improving our grades.
