Should Electronics Be Allowed In School During Class Time, And Would It Be A Bad Thing?

Are you always on your phone? Either Snapchatting, on Instagram, scrolling through your twitter feed? It can be pretty temping to pick up your phone and do this stuff in class but you can use them in good ways in school. George Washington Middle School currently has cell phones banned in class. Although most teachers think that cell phones are a distraction, cell phones should be allowed in class because students feel anxious without their phones, there are many educational uses, and allowing phones is more convenient.

Hmm, phones in the classroom! What do you think? That is a debate between billions of people in the world today. Children all over the world have phones, but they can not have them out during school hours. Cell phones are important to so many kids and adults. These devices have been around for so long, and many people can not live without them. All around the school campus, students are miserable without their phones. In the world today, about three-fourths of the U.S. population have phones. A cell phone is an important thing to some people. Without cell phones, kids wouldn't have access to their social media accounts like Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and more. So take this into consideration, even if it is in one class, students should be allowed to get on their cell phones during school hours.

Kardaras claims that technology cannot be used in schools, however I recommend that technology should be used in schools because it helps students keep in good health, save money and get good grades. To begin with, I think computers are easy to carry. Specifically, textbooks are too heavy for students to carry resulting a lot of students get shoulder disease. If they have e-books in computers, they would carry a computer to school without a lot of textbooks. In addition, e-books are cheaper than paper books. If a student has e-books, each semester he could save more than 400 dollars. That would ease students’ financial pressures. Furthermore, students can restudy lectures again and again because all lectures are on the internet. They can arrange

Did you know that about 73% of people want electronics at school and 27% of people don’t want electronics at school ,plus some schools have esports(2) clubs but I do get that they want us to be on a school appropriate websites/games but.... I think that kids should be able to use electronics in school because…

Cell phones have advanced in technology tremendously over the years. There has also been some contradiction as whether or not cell phones should be banned in schools. Some people, such as the author(s) of “Schools Review Cell Phone Bans,” (2009) say that cell phones are a distraction to students while trying to learn; while other authors, such as the author of “Cell Phones in the Classroom,” (2010) Marie Bjerede, say that cell phones offer students the ability to branch out of text books and retrieve information from the internet right from a smartphone. When interviewed, Hunter Khaleghi, a student

Schools all over the nation are looking to replace their textbooks with computers, but they are all wondering if it is a good idea.This has sparked controversy throughout the states because some schools want to take the plunge, however others are not so eager to let go of old teaching methods, maybe because they would have to rewrite their entire curriculum, which could take months to completely take over the old one. Yet still the sources say that because the amount of positive aspects of technology in schools outweighs the negative ones, new technology should be employed in an educational setting.

The framework of learning in school has been the same since our ancestors attended school. Students listen to teachers, parents and elders to learn life and literacy lessons. The world has continued this old style of learning instead of using current technology to further educate young minds. Currently we have endless access to knowledge with the use of cellphones and schools are still hesitant to allow these impeccable devices in classrooms. Schools should take advantage of technology and allow the use of cellphones for educational purposes in classrooms. The reasons why we should use cellphones in school and in classrooms are because they can keep students informed on class assignments, they make the classrooms more active and they can

In today’s classrooms, laptops are becoming more and more prevalent. Their use has been fervently debated, with some teachers in support of allowing students unrestricted access to their laptops and some in support of banning them completely. With restrictions for classes such as mathematics or science, laptops should be allowed in other classroom settings because they allow students to take thorough notes and to jot down more of the lecture.

Gadgets are proposing distractions in the school setting. Phones and other cellular devices are prohibited in the classroom because they are a distraction to the class’s learning environment. In an article by ProCon.org, a debating topic site, says, ¨… they [tablets, or electronics in general] are expensive, too distracting for students, easy to break, and costly/time-consuming to fix.... Tablets contribute to eyestrain, headaches, and blurred vision, increase the excuses available for students not doing their homework, require costly Wi-Fi networks, and become quickly outdated as new technologies emerge.” These statements are purely based on opinion, but raises a great point. Students are easily distracted by other other students, but more so than anything by electronics. Many schools prohibit phones to be used in class, but other electronics are allowed. The same site says, “Students

Should schools allow students to bring their own electronics? In 2010, Pew Research Center found out that 65v percent of students bring their electronics despite any bans that may be in place. Most schools now allow students to bring their own electronics but require them to be turned off during class because they can be disruptive and distracting. Students should be allowed to bring their own electronics to school because students can have easier contact with parents, if necessary, and electronics ensure various resources at students fingertips.

Many places in society are setting policies on digital device. The principal at my school has also set policies on banning cell phones in school. Students should not be permitted to use cell phones in school. Using cell phones during school allows students to cheat. Students will be more distracted by cell phones and pay less attention to the teacher and to the lesson. Students have a higher chance of getting in trouble if they use cell phones in school rather than if they are not allowed to use digital devices in school.

electronics in class is disruptive. School should be a place where children learn to socialize and

The use of technology has risen to a high percentage in the past ten years. We, as a society, continue to manufacture and improve our electronic uses. They have become a vast help to the people in our country and around the world by providing new programs and expanding ideas through the world of the Internet. Many schools, however, are adamant to admit the technology use inside classrooms. People at their everyday jobs use them.Why should we not have the same option, but instead to further our education?

Recently, contest over whether laptops in class hinder or aid learning has begun to be raised in many schools. The use of laptops in lecture rooms has for long been considered to be a significant tool for learning due to the ability of the lecturers to lead an online research for the whole class. However, a number of schools have started to ban use of laptops in their lecture rooms. Consequently, author explores if laptops should be allowed or banned in lecturer rooms. In undertaking this research, the author employs the thesis statement that even though some people hold that laptops are instrumental learning tools in lecture class, they should be banned.

Should high school students be allowed to use personal laptops and phones in class? Using electronics starting at a young age will teach children’s brains to become highly dependent upon them for everything. When our brains become dependent upon electronics, it makes everyday activities more difficult to complete without them. The use of laptops and phones should not begin until the age of ten or later. Therefore, by the time one reaches the high school level one’s basic skills should have been developed and the use of electronics will be easier on the brain. High school students should be allowed to use personal laptops and phones in class because they will help prepare students for college, make it easier to take notes and type papers, and help save students money.
