Cell phones are quickly becoming a child and teenager’s new best friend. In fact, they even seem to be replacing human contact, and are now how both children and teenagers communicate with each other. Cell phone sales have sky rocketed at an alarming rate, and many of the consumers are under the age of 18, meaning they are still in elementary and high school. Society has influenced students to feel that they need to own a cell phone to be “cool”, thus making the issue of cell phones in the classroom society context vs. students (area 13). Cell phones have now begun to be a large distraction in the classroom, and are the newest item that many schools have had to implement a policy for; many of these policies simply ban the use of cell

Some can argue that cell phone use during school is highly uncivilized but it's extremely useful in many different ways and in different scenarios.Instead of viewing cellphones and other gadgets as negative additive distractions , we should view the positive side of celluar devices. Cell phones can help resolve issues and help make the school environment much easier, however do believe there should be restrictions , for instance not to use a phone while the teacher is having a discussion or teaching lesson.

Cellular phones should be allowed in schools for threatening emergencies, to avoid double standards between teachers and students and most of all to help students with research purposes.

Cell phones are amazing things that allow us to so many great things, but are causing us to loose sight to what really matters? Cell phones should not be allowed to be out during school hours but should not be completely banned from the school campus. They are used as status symbols, a way to measure self worth and make us lose touch with reality.

Regina Jones's “Cell phones in the classroom” is an informational article that explains both sides of the issue of cell phones in the classroom. The idea of cell phones in the classroom has been debated for a long time. Jones discusses that the idea of cell phones in the classroom seems like a beneficial idea, but it has many consequences. Jones does not side with a specific opinion, but rather shows how to properly incorporate the idea given its cons. With the correct procedure, cell phones could be a valuable teaching aid to help kids learn in a contemporary way.

Every teacher has a different policy on cell phone use in class. In past years, cell phones were essentially banned from classrooms while more recently teachers have been more lenient with their policy. Educational devices such as computers and online learning have been embraced by many school districts, while cell phones which offer the same effect on learning have been outlawed. Advancements in technology can provide students with a new learning tools where the learning tools will be used in the real world. Students who use cell phones to access research information are able to reach a wide variety of current information. Teachers are also able to teach students the proper way to use cell phones in a professional setting. Cell phones can also raise engagement levels in classes. In the article Cell Phones in the Classroom by George Engel and Tim Green, “There was an observable rise in class participation when cell phones were used in the class” (44). While cell phones were once considered a distraction, the way society uses cell phones has changed. Likewise, the purpose of cell phones has shifted from solely communication to a variety of benefits. Cell phones should be allowed in classrooms for educational uses because there are so many different ways to learn and study using them.

More and more kids are getting cell-phones every year, and because cell-phones are gaining more educational abilities, some people are suggesting that phones be allowed for more use in school. Although cell-phones can be an useful learning tool, they should not be allowed in schools because many kids would abuse the privilege, there are many other technologies available for use, and phones are also not available to every person.

One of the most important rules given to the students at school may be causing problems for the students and the teachers: Cell Phones. Students are constantly getting in trouble in school for using their phones during class which has stopped schools from authorizing their students to have their phones while at school. But this rule has created problems for students and teachers. Although cell phones in school can be a distraction from learning, students should be allowed to have their cell phones in school because it gives them easy access to contact their parents, it helps students to be happy and want to be at school and it helps students to become familiar with electronics.

How important are cell phones? Technology and cell phones play an influential and prominent role in the daily lives of many people, especially students. Technology behind cellular devices has advanced to where it can be used to navigate GPS, send emails, watch movies, record events, and much more. However, schools have restricted the usage of cellphones despite its universal range of technological potential. While administrators ponder upon the negative aspects of cell phones, such as the distractions it can cause with social media, the positive aspects of its educational value still outweigh the negatives. Recently, some schools are starting to lift the ban on cell phones, and this is

Cellphones could be so much simpler at schools. There are an abundance of rules into play. Students get the device taken on a daily. Many teachers today would like the ban lifted so that the phone can be used as a teaching tool and not labeled as a distraction. (Rapp, David. “Lift the Cell Phone Ban.” Scholastic, Scholastic Administrator, 2008. Accessed 14 May 2017.) If a U.S law were passed, the ban would be lifted. School systems fail to realize that phones are more useful than the outdated books. When there are fewer resources in schools, there are more students needing to use the devices. Why not put the devices up for the test? Phones are here for a reason.

The rewards from using cell phones can be great, but by using them we may not reach whatever goal we have set because they can hinder us from making it there. Cell phones being used as educational tools can be a helpful thing if we decide to take the necessary steps to ensure that students are doing what they are supposed to. Although cell phones can be used in ways to benefit us in the learning environment, they still play a major part in why they grades and test scores look the way do. This is exactly why cell phones shouldn’t be used as educational

Thesis: Cell phones should be used in high schools to replace educational tools, to keep in contact with parents, and to get students career and college ready.

In this digital age we have a tendency to be fully dependent on electronics particularly on mobile devices. There are various mobile electronic devices: laptop, tablet, and cellular phone to name a few. In the early 1990’s is when students started bringing cellular phones to school even with the bulkiness to them back then. Schools began to place a restriction on the use of mobile phones in the classroom. Back then, the cell phone was only able to make calls, receive calls and text message. Now, the smart phone is the most favorable with students since they are able to stay connected to a wide variety of social media. For example, “Students can access the Internet, send or receive text messages, check email, and even video chat with others

Nowadays, the cell phones become popular in the social, it has become harder to find students who do not own a smartphone. Youth now have cell phones that they carry with them everywhere .The school system is faced with the challenge of school students' mobile phone use. Students insist that phone is necessary. In fact, students should not be allowed to use cell phone during the school day since they lack the self-control and effect their independent study. Schools across the country are faced with or have to face students who carry and use mobile phones at school. For example, students would use cell phone in the class. Some of them might have chat with others, taking Selfie, or some of them read the novels or some of them play games. Therefore, they waste the time and learn nothing. Thought the number of student's cell phone using rate are increasing which have distracting influence and reduce the grades. Students in school are still learning about themselves, so they should concentrate on study in school day.

Are cells phones an important part of learning for students? Phones and/or other electronic device are things that people are overly devoted to. Students are the main ones who are reliable on their phone for information and trending topics. The reliability on phones for students is tremendous and creates ways for students to learn topics that are far from being leaned by teaching. Learning on a phone is an easy access although for some it is not when students do not have the possession of one. These devices are the main problem in school that provoke whether students should or shouldn't be allowed to use them in class.

First and foremost, not every person that attends school has a smartphone. In other words, some people's parents don't want their children to have a phone at this given moment, also some families can't afford it.For example, this year i am taking A.P. Bio, we use our phones in that class everyday for about 75% of the entire class period for many different reasons. I don't have a smartphone though, so i'm constantly behind on my bell ringers which causes me to have excess homework. This basically consists of me getting punished for something I can't control at all. This proves my point when i say it's all around a huge disadvantage. What are teachers trying to accomplish by doing this? There are no real benefits to cell phone use in the classroom other than teachers having to do less work, also it's a good time filler.
