Permitting students to have cell phones on school grounds, parents are able to call or text their children to see how they are doing in school and vice versa. Allowing students to use their cell phones at school is beneficial such that it provides instant communication and convenience, personal safety, and can even be a learning tool.

In Tamara Brenner’s article, “The Use of Mobile Devices in the College Classroom”, she stresses that the use of cell phones is distracting in a college classroom setting. This article was published by the Bok Center by Harvard University. Brenner has a PhD in biochemistry and molecular biology, and taught undergraduate life science classes at Harvard. Today’s day and age is almost completely dependent on technology. Teenagers and students today have a completely new problem to deal with as far as how to balance cell phone time and lecture time in classrooms. Anybody in a college classroom setting should pay attention to what is in this article, especially students and teachers. Brenner uses strong studies and research papers to inform the reader about the issue as well as looks at all sides of the argument on how distracting mobile devices are in the college classroom.

With the use of technology, teaching and learning took a big leap and is changing its paradigms, from a closed model, and teacher-centered classroom to a model more open and student-centered, where the teacher moves from one holder of knowledge for a learning mentor, able to manage diverse discourses and practices as well as stimulate the intellectual capacities of students in the treatment of information available.

My first reason for having phones out in class is because lets say the teacher of the classroom was teaching and an intruder walks in and kills the teacher and locks everyone up in the classroom. You do not have no one to call your stuck and have no one to help. Now lets say that phones were allowed, the same situation happened except you did not die or you did not get stuck in the classroom. You were saved because of the idea of having phone out in the classroom, so you had a phone you called 911 and they are on their way. You may need cell phones in science maybe to do an experiment.

The relatively recent escalation of smartphones across the world has brought about many circumstances that no one had imagined prior to the 21st century. One potentially major impact of the smartphone is its effect on students, teachers, and educational facilities. In this paper, I will explore the impact of the rhetorical devices used by the authors of two scholarly articles from different academic fields. “Using Smartphones to Supplement Classroom Reading” by Karen Bromley is written in the applied field of education; and, “You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make him learn: Smartphone use in higher education” by Chad C. Tossell and his team of authors originates from the academic field of the social sciences. Although Bromley and Tossell are both writing on the impact of smartphones in education, their differing uses of rhetorical devices allows Tossell to effectively reach a scholarly audience, while Bromley’s article is appealing to the general public.
