Cell Cell Phones Should Not Be Banned From School Today's cell phone is the frontline technology at our fingertips. With this in mind, the use of cell phones has become a big deal when it comes to allowing teenagers to use them in educational settings, such as schools. One part of the society supports the use of cell phones while the other part of the society disapproves of the use of cell phones. I personally believe that cell phones should not only be allowed in school, but should be mandatory just like textbooks. Cell phones not only allow students to connect with friends and family, but they are also a wonderful learning system and encourage responsible use of technology. One reason to consider introducing mobile phones into learning is to promote digital etiquette. , a concept foreign to most people. According to Liz Kolb (author of “Toys to Tools”), digital etiquette is “a set of basic rules you should follow to make the Internet better for others and better for you.” Kolb states in his book that “an educator's job is to help students navigate and stay safe in the world of media.” Students are often unaware of the consequences of their use and abuse of technology. Currently, many students don't think too much about protecting their privacy. For example, 55% of students don't care whether the digital material they use is protected by copyright. Students between the ages of 10 and 17 often do not accept appropriate cell phone use. According to Kolb, “While nine out of ten kids between the ages of 10 and 17 believe they are polite to their cell phones, 52% admit to texting at the movies, while 28% admit to texting at the dinner table. " These statistics show that teenagers are unaware of cell phones...... middle of paper ......her. Given the indisputable findings on cell phone use by students in school, there should not be a banning cell phones in schools. This is because students can learn to enhance their learning from technology such as the cell phone. Students will also become more independent in their work and more motivated to learn The part of society that is against the use of cell phones in school does so because of the interference that a cell phone can cause. However, we must accept that we live in a world full of technology Cell phone education Overall, cell phones provide us with resources for learning and encourage appropriate use of technology. Therefore, schools should not ban the use of cell phones in school.
