Observation Of Communication In Communication

The psychology. Eliza Martinez advocated the use of cellphones for texting while student are in class can cause disrupt in teen. In her article "How Texting Affect How Teens Do In School " she said that sometimes the sounds of classmates texting, or receiving texts during the class can disrupt others students making them miss information that they may need in the coming classes. They should let the phones in safe places at school to avoid disruption noise (Par4). her words speak to student who do not have their phones in silence, and students who like to text during the class. Most of the time in class is truly important to pay attention keeping the phone in silence or other place where student can not text in class would help teen to have a better concentration.

In conclusion the use of cell phones are a distraction with preadolescent, adults, and college students. It could also be argue that it could benefit us in case of an emergency to have our cell phone. When a phone call cannot be taken due to being in class a simple text can keep from the rest of the class hearing your conversation, and private discussion with whomever is texting

Article “OMG! We've been here B4!” by Clive Thompson is a reflection of what the effects the telephone has on everyday communication as well as the development of the telephone over the years. Thompson however explains that the early days of the telephone weren't seen as a helpful tool for social interaction, but an abate to conversation. When the cell phone first emerged on scene, it was believed that people choose to communicate face-to-face less and call instead. Clive Thompson explores the thought that texting may make people shield their emotions, limit conversations to only the phone, and erode intimacy. Although the telephone had various opinions, the cell phone did not destroy traditional etiquette but altered the way we communicate with one another.

When they share things together, what they are sharing is what is on their phones.” (pg.6). I’ve been in this exact situation in the very lunchroom of Silver Creek High. Most lunches, my friends and I talk and share face-to-face things, but some days just don’t work out that way. You’re sitting with your friends at the table, you’re just sitting in the silence that is technology.

Texting in class is a very touchy subject, and can be argued from many different aspects. One of the main things though, is that texting in class would not be disruptive just for the student texting, but also to the students sitting around the student that is doing the texting. In this today’s generation, everywhere around us people of all ages and cultures circle around their cell phones in everything they do. Whether we are walking down the road, in the grocery style, in class, or even much dangerously, in driving, cell phones have grown to be a very vital part of our everyday lives. However, when it comes to cell phones and texting in the classroom, a very controversial answer is given between teachers and students. Students say they

Using texting as a quicker and more efficient form of communication takes the emotional connection out of the equation. It allows us to not be physically near the recipient or to take responsibility for miscommunications that lead to hurt feelings. While texting, students do not need to make eye contact with their recipient or learn to read their body language. In addition, there is no need to learn the art of persuasive argument or exchanging and building on ideas. This is not only harming students in the classroom, but can have negative effects when entering the workforce. After leaving college, students hope to land a job in their field of expertise. In the workforce, teams are a diverse collection of persons – all ages and different cultures. Texting may be acceptable in some situations, but there is still a great need for face to face interactions. We learn how to become more comfortable meeting new people and interviewing for jobs. There is nothing wrong the light banter between friends that texting can provide, but the conversation is not necessarily deep.

In such a short period of time people now seem more absorbed by these objects which are meant for communication but at the same time separate people from each other and shape the way people communicate. It is almost as if everyone was from a different country and did not know how to communicate with each other. My main focus on this project was the dining halls but since I currently live on a ten story building here on campus I could also notice this same behavior of using phones in the elevators. People usually walking in listening to music or with their phone, and the eye contact is kept to the minimum. Nobody says anything but a very few amount of people who say a greeting when they walk in. So with the observations on the elevator I saw that this behavior was not only displayed in dining halls, but basically everywhere and because everyone has these items I could notice it even while I was walking to my classes. Some people did not even pay attention to where they were walking because of being focused on a phone. In the most extreme cases I saw people on hover boards while using their phone which is life-threatening for the user and people around

Pupil B has learnt oppositional and defiant behaviours towards adults who try and enforce school structures. The effect is that during this behaviour B is not expected to engage. On these occasions, behaviour often results in screaming, throwing furniture or running and hiding. The latter is also learnt behaviour from his background. When upset, B will conceal himself in very small places where he will engage in self-harming.

Cell phones have affected our learning. Cell phones have become a ubiquitous presence on college campuses and are arguably considered distractions. Recent research has been devoted to better understanding the perceptions of cell phone use among college level faculty and students as well as the consequences of cell phones in classrooms.

cell phone rings on academic performance. After completing the study, they said, “Findings indicated that cell phone rings during a video presentation impaired academic performance. Specifically, participants in the ringing condition performed worse on disrupted test items and were less likely to have recorded pertinent test information” (End, Worthman, Matthews, & Wetterau, 2010, p. 55-57). The study shows that just the ringer on a cell phone alone can have an impact on how a student takes notes. However, not everyone thinks that cell phones are a bad idea. Authors Kevin Thomas and Blanche Obannon wrote an article titled ‘Cell Phones in The Classroom: Preservice Teachers’

In the first video in this series, I viewed in groups and out groups. In groups “refer to groups we identify with out groups descibes groups we see different from us” (Floyd 31). The adolescents and the professor have different roles and images which hindered their communication, so they didn’t associate the professor as the same in group as them. The boy and girl seemed to have a more relaxed conversation because they perceive each other as in the same in group. For example, both students changed their conversation style when the professor came up to talk to them indicating that they were code switching from friends to students. The girl used positive facial display, “facial expressions” (Floyd 109), and movements and gestures such as smiling and hand movements that suggested that she was comfortable with her friend. However, when the professor walked up to them, they both sat up straight and said “thank you” multiple times; they even changed their jargon. The students were experiencing open sensitivity between each other, while with their professor they experienced closed stereotyping.

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.

When a cell phone rings in a class, not only does it disrupt the class but it also breaks everyone’s concentration. Students can use cell phones to exchange work or answers in an examination or in a class.

One problem with cell phones in today’s society is that they have become major distractions. Cell phones are distracting employees in the workplace and are leaving them with their jobs halfway done. Everywhere in the business industries, the employees are hard at work re-tweeting and catching up on the latest newsfeed rather than managing their time more wisely. Not only are cell phones a distraction in the workplace, they are also a distraction and disruptive in school districts, causing students’ attention to be elsewhere. Many students would rather text in the middle of class instead of pay attention to what the teacher is reviewing. In this case, students do not gain the amount of education provided for them. In addition to cell phones being distracting, people often like to multi-task by walking or driving while texting. These things cause them to be unaware of their surroundings. Texting while driving has become a major issue because texting and driving can lead to car crashes which are often fatal. On the other hand, texting and walking isn’t too bad, but can cause a little bit of embarrassment. There are stories of people walking into walls and bumping into people or tripping over a table because their nose seems to be stuck in their phone. To some, being on their cell phone is more important than grades, clients, and others around them.

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.
