Phones should be allowed in school because they a essential to learning and emergencies. For example, if your phone went off and it said your grandpa sadly passed away, you would want to know, correct? Another example is you are playing an after school sport and you canceled all your plans to go to practice and it ends up getting cancelled. You didn’t know because you didn’t have your phone. Phones are also education helpers. Since students today have grown up using cell phones, they are extremely comfortable with technology.
Students of this generation have an intuitive sense of learning when it comes to tech and can help facilitate even the hardest of materials when made digital on a screen that the student is familiar with. Letting students use their phones for interactive classwork and activities is an amazing way to keep them present and raise participation to an all-time high. One proven fact is that cell phones in school can help accelerate a student’s learning. Students involved in social outlets like sports or clubs are able to excel in the classroom. Using virtual social tools can have that same effect and help students stay engaged in a classroom environment.
