Technology is advancing every day. “More than 203 million people in the United States use cell phones” (Castle), but schools expect students not to use it. Cell phones play a huge role in high school

Technology has been slowly integrated into the classroom for many years now. Some maybe older than others, but they have all seemed to make the learning and teaching process much easier and effective. Computers were introduced to the curriculum to help students better understand data collection, research, and word processing and Power Points were even added to give visuals to lessons. Cell phones on the other hand have been given the cold shoulder, and even completely banned by some schools. According to the article, “Are We Dialing Up Disaster,” by George Engel and Tim Green, eighty-four percent of high school students report to owning a cell phone and that number continues to increase (Engel 39). Because students are distracted

Why our school should have the right to ban cell phone use during the school day? Because it will good for our child study. Some people will think that it is unreasonable to prohibit students from using the phone on campus. Because Parents cannot quickly reach their children in an emergency, unable to exercise their autonomy, and reduce the way students gain more knowledge. As we know, the electronic products are becoming more and more developed for our lives have a huge impact in today. In today's fast-paced times, mobile phones are a handy tool to get this information. When your phone has downloaded some news app, these applications will continue to push the new news, some self-control students in the classroom will not be able to live to see the phone which led to the progress of learning. I will go through three different part to talking about the school should to ban the cell phone. Improve students' learning efficiency, effectively prevent students from relying on mobile phones, contribute to the physical and mental development of students. At the same time, I will agree with the views of the other side, and why do they think in the campus to prohibit the phone is reasonable.

But we must accept that we live in a world of technology and that cell

In today’s society, smart phones are a part of a student’s average, everyday life. No matter what people are doing, they find time to look at their phone and make a call, read a text, check e-mails, or search something on Google. Even though people find so many uses for them throughout the day, they are a controversial subject to talk about in their use in the classroom. Many schools have policies strictly prohibiting the use of smart phones in school. For schools to ban the use of smart phones is a major mistake. They only look at cell phones as a distraction to students, and don’t understand that this generation is dependent on the technologies of today. What educators need to do is ask themselves

Have you ever heard of the gruesome Columbine High School massacre? This incident occurred on April 20th 1999 and involved two students embarking on a shooting rampage, killing twelve students, a teacher and wounding twenty three others. Unfortunately during this incident, the school 's most easily accessible phone was on the complete other side of the school in the library. Perhaps some of these lives could have been saved if the students in this class had cell phones that they could 've used to contact the authorities more quickly. The issue we are addressing today is the usage of cellular devices in educational facilities. Both Cameron and myself believe that cell phone usage is of extreme convenience, and has academically beneficial

Really, they can not use cell phones in our school? School districts do not know what to do about cell phones.There are many things in the world that students want. One thing students want is to be able to get on there phones in school. They know having phones in school would help them out a lot. Did you know twelve to seventeen year old's have phones and use them up to sixty times a day? They research information off the internet everyday. Having phones are very important to them. Did you know that 30% of schools let their students get on their phones in class? Well if you did not know yes it is true. One half of many states let their students in the school district use phones in their classes. That is why they know it is right for them to be able to get on there phones in school and classes to. Cell phones are very helpful. There are people who think they are a distraction, but they are actually helpful, useful, and needed by students.

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.

I think using smartphones should be allowed to in classrooms. If students are allowed to use their phones in the classroom they would be able to focus on their assignments. If students use technology, such as their phones, they will be able to be prepared for their future. In the future mostly everything would be based off of technology. While in the classroom the electronic devices would be very useful for current assignments. Some people also work better on a phone of computer/chromebook. These are some super-eminent qualities. If students are allowed to use their phones computers tablets or any other device they could get their work done faster or more efficiently. Many people believe that when students get in trouble at school that they are being taught a lesson. However, as a middle schooler myself we seem that getting in trouble is just a way of telling us that we need help. Or that we are horrible people and need to do something better in our lives. Without phones in class we need a way to communicate. Most communication is done over the

Many teachers believe that cell phones don’t belong in a classroom because there are several disadvantages. An example maybe a student who uses a cell phone in class has no intension in listening or paying attention to the teacher. This student has a short attention span who cares about socializing more than his/her education. Cell phones can be very disruptive; they can invade people’s privacy and can also be used as harassment or bullying. The usage of cell phones is creating a huge problem particularly when they are used in school.

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.

Why are cell phones so feared in schools? Why could they help us instead of becoming a hindrance in the classroom? WHAT makes them so useful? Students are becoming easily distracted by cell phones in the classroom, so schools are beginning to ban the usage of cellphones in schools. Although phones may also be a possible point of distraction in the classroom. The phones may prove more of a benefit to not only students, but the school staff and student’s parents. The phones provide Quick and easy access for parents to plan and organize what happen in school with their children, Phones can also be used as a tool to track and organize certain data in the classroom, while the students study in class, their phones also enable them access to listen

The use of smartphones is becoming more common, but at times the use of cell phones can cause problems for a school system. Cell phone usage during school has increased significantly since technology has allowed us to access the internet or social media and text or call anyone whenever we desire. In certain circumstances, however, the use of cell phones should not be allowed such as in class. Some students may face a challenge by putting their phone away just for a split second, and they cannot resist the urge of using their device while in class, thus this could be a serious problem not only for them but for the people surrounding cell phone users. The device creates distractions, not only to the user, but for others as well, causing the user to be disrespectful to his or her classmates and the instructor, and perhaps leading the user to something that is unacceptable by all institutions, cheating.

Do you every wonder what children do at school with their phones? There are lots of conflicts at school involving students with their phone. Students will get their cellular device taken away if they have them out during learning periods. Pupils are gorilla glued to their phones. Many school across North America have issues with phones. Will students learn not to have their phones out during school? Students should worry about their phones being taken away and concentrate on their work. Phones are bad for school and can be used to do horrible things by students.

Today, everywhere we look around there is more than likely going to be a phone in somebody's hand. This article looks at education and the use of phones, if they should be allowed or not. If cell phones won't be aloud then another question they look at is if any technology should be used. It is so common for youth to be on their phones and this talks about whether or not it would be a distraction or if it could help. The main focus on this article is that the "administrators often are concerned about inappropriate use of cell phones in schools and this is the major cause of restricting their use" (Obringer and Coffey, p. 10). As this article talks about whether or not is should be used as a learning tactic, it also gets into gender differences. They look into which gender is more likely to use the phone as a distraction rather than the learning they were assigned to do if it was allowed in the school. Another question that popped up was if the students even knew what their school's policy on cellphones was. By the end of this you will see their look on whether or not it is worth using any kind of technology in the education system.
