It is clear from the reading and discussions on cellphones use in the classroom that there are issues regarding accidental ringing which causes distraction to students from their lesson and makes them have to re-focus all over again, distraction to student’s education due to the passing of notes via text messages during class, the possibility of students cheating fairly easily, the fast spreading of rumors and illicit pictures and videos and
over-burdening of teachers and principals to be solving issues of theft, etc. of cellphones.
I
think that these are valid concerns since we have observed the addictive nature of
students with these cellphones and the many negative issues that have
surfaced in recent times. However, there is no doubt that cellphones to be used as an effective technological learning tool in collaboration with other devices, but there needs to be a clear policy put in place for our
students to be cultured and closely monitored to get maximum positive use.
