\u201cMan! My teacher took my phone away for me researching some help on my topic.\u201d Do you hate when this happens? Some people believe that students should be able to use their cellphones in class, others strongly disagree. They should be granted this privilege because it saves a lot of time, it can help us transition into our new modern technology, and it can also help get the work done.<\/p>\n

Many believe\u00a0students should be able to use cell phones\/tablets in class because it saves a lot of time. Using these devices can save a lot of time because you don\u2019t have to go through the book and search, this is time consuming. Using these devices saves time also because they can give you a direct answer, this can save a load of time. As quoted by Osama Altairy \u201cInstead of using your head for complicated problems or even using a book a calculator on you device can save a massive amount of time. With saving this time students may be able to review their answers with another student quietly to make sure they have accurate answers.”<\/p>\n

Secondly Altairy also states, it helps us transition into our modern technology. “It helps us transition because we as the entire human population are changing our ways and rapidly creating new technology.” If we continue not to use this technology we will not create new forms of it. Also what would help us the most transition into modern technology is if we begin using this technology in school because with this technology at schools it would teach students the ways of their modern technology and help them also make the change. It may be hard to make this big change mostly for the teachers because they would need to learn more about the technology and less about the books but it is all worthwhile because we must move on and accomplish new ways to learn.<\/p>\n

Quoted by Fatima Ajrouche \u201cYes I agree that moving into modern technology can be a great step by humans because it can show how advanced we are in our technology and can soon push us to better accomplishments.\u201dAlthough there may be some side effects to this transition to technology use some can affect learning in many ways.<\/p>\n

cell phones in class<\/p><\/div>\n

Those who oppose worry\u00a0some students may decide to abuse this wonderful privilege and decide to text, play games, and waste lots of time that could be used on learning. This would be the most concern to teachers and others that work for the school district; without the students paying attention while they are teaching they might be texting or playing around on the device. Also while there are always those students who blow off work and decide that they don\u2019t want to participate in the silent work and they will not do the work, this can also be a huge problem. Fatima also adds that \u201c most of the students would support this because they will think they can get away with abusing this privilege, this is why it\u2019s a bad idea and will give teachers major headaches.”<\/p>\n

Lastly it can help get work done; students would begin giving it 100% when they find out they can use a new device. Students would begin working harder to get the work done or to even do their work for starters because they would like this new idea. As Osama Altairy quotes \u201cI believe most student will take this privilege but abuse it and go on games and text their friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

As you can see many people think alike and most of us students believe that others will abuse this magnificent privilege. As I included using mobile phones or devices can help in school learning because they save a lot of time, they help us transition into our new technology, and can help get work done. What do you think?<\/p>\n
