MOBILE PHONES IN CLASS
Technology is always advancing, during
the years we have more advanced technologies and we have created some
technologic invents like smartphones to do the human life better. But not
sometimes in some places we shouldn’t use it, so the question is; do the mobile
phones should be allowed in class?
In the one hand, smartphones can be used
for loads of things; the main one is searching information. Nowadays we have a
fantastic innovation said internet, what you can’t found on the internet it
doesn’t exist. You can search exactly what you want in a few seconds, you can
search some unknown words in other languages, download some apps very useful,
etc. Furthermore you can use smartphones to take notes faster than doing it by
hand.
In the other hand, smartphones can be
used to work, but the main reason for using smartphones is for having fun or
spending time on it. I think is not a good idea having one tool which you can
play in class. Moreover I think if many teachers allow the mobile phones in
class the students will play games on the mobile phone all the day, therefore,
nobody will work in class and it will be a disaster.
Nevertheless, if the teacher had one
program to overlook what the students are doing in their mobile phones, the mobile phone will be a very useful tool to use in class
so that the students could search information easily and faster. But nowadays
we haven’t any app like this so using the mobile phone in class is not a good
idea. As I have said, it will be a distraction for the students.
In brief, smartphones is maybe the most
important invention created since now, most of the people have their own smartphone
and everybody loves them. I really like smartphones, I spend loads of hours on
the mobile phone, but I thing is not a good idea to use them in class, they are
incredible, whereas in class there are simple distraction tools.
