Should Faculty Police the use of Cell Phones in College Classrooms? Should faculty police the use of cell phones in college classrooms? Most of the people expect that we, as students, give a yes or no answer when it comes to this subject, nevertheless I consider that it is a complex question that deserves more than a one-word answer. Therefore, I will explain some of my opinions referred to the use of technology in college classrooms as my thoughts about the use of cell phones inside the classroom, taking notes in electronic devices and the attitude that the professors should take on this subject. At the beginning of the semester, if someone would have asked me about my thoughts of the use of cell phones in college classrooms I would have…
I’ve considered three things about why Instructors ask students to turn off their cell phones in class. One being it’s very distracting to everyone in the classroom. It will take away everyone’s attention from the instructor and put the attention on the person’s ringing phone. Second, it can be a temptation for someone to cheat. The internet is filled with answers to so many different questions.…
In “The Use of Mobile Devices in the College Classroom” the author Tamara Brenner expresses her views about why cell phones should not be aloud in class. It was when a colleague asked her about what she though on the matter, that she decided to examine the studies. The more she researched the more evidence she had that proved that cell phones are a distraction to students. She explains that multitasking is hard enough without distracting cell phones. We can use our cell phones to do better in class, like taking notes and using apps that the teacher suggests; however, it is far too easy to look at things that should wait for latter, like texting or checking social media.…

Hello, I’m Nate Sunker and I’m writing to on the urgent matter of cell phone use in secondary schools. This is an outdated policy that is overlooked by so many school executives who are chiefly looking at outdated studies and research. Newer research has shown that today’s cell phones are able to let students connect with the topic, communicate and keep safe, and improve students’ abilities inside and outside of school. Because of that, this issue cannot be ignored, and needs to be solved by the start of school this fall. To start off, Cell phones can be used to delve deeper into class at school and at home.…
People are beginning to develop a mental “connection” to their phone. I must admit that cell phones are a major distraction to the learning environment and I am guilty of checking my phone while in class. Although they can be a helpful tool, cell phones need to be eliminated from the classroom as much as possible. The second it takes to look at your phone could be the exact second you miss important information that you may need for the final exam. As well as in the classroom, precautions need to be taken by students while walking around campus.…
In conclusion, students should not be allowed to have and use their cell phones in class because of inequality, distractions, and dishonesty. Think about the people that have trouble with staying focus and get distracted easily before thinking selfishly about using a cell phone in…
Technology has gotten so high tech in this past generation that it is affecting the ways students cheat. Students have started to lose their sense of morals and ethics that is causing them not to care that they are cheating. The fact is plagiarism is getting worse and worse because cell phones are an immediate access to find the information they need. Plagiarism is more than just academic, legal, political, and social debate. Saha states that people rely on “copy and paste” when it comes down to plagiarizing and being lazy in this society(2377).…

On average 98% of college students have used their phone for educational purposes. 53% use their e-books a lot in college (Nelson, Mark). If the teacher is having difficulty teaching they could change the text to something that is more understandable to the…
Laptops, tablets, and cell phones are essentials that many students own that are very common, however, these devices have the ability to make anything possible to the user. Sophia Harris states that “the society of today has become quite reliant on technology,” (Harris 2) in her famous article Pros and Cons of Using Technology in Your Classroom. In a way Harris is right, technology, especially cellular devices, are being used so much that students have grew so accustomed to them everywhere they go. Not every student learns and takes in information the same way, in correspondingly, one key impact technology has brought to the classroom is the wide range of independent learning for every student and their different learning…
Cell phones are part of the everyday attire for a middle and high school student. Kids now a days are getting cell phone while still in elementary school. As students get ready in the morning, they can not forget their cell phone. Or else they will not survive throughout the day without talking to their friends via twitter, snapchat, text messages, and many more social media sites. But yet they are at school to learn and to focus on what being taught.…
Next time you go out to dinner take a second and look around. You’ll see the same thing I see when I go to the cafeteria here at Wingate University. As I sit and eat my meal, I notice that every group, including my own, has one thing in common at least one of its members is looking at their cell phone. Even the people I sit with, myself included are guilty of picking up our cell phones. Some people will pick up their phones, without having a notification; they scroll through their social media while conversing with their peers.…
Many students do not realize this but they have tools in their pockets, not just text machines. “Cell phones are becoming ubiquitous and are an untapped resource in education. Fortunately, some have begun to investigate ways to integrate cell phones into the teaching and learning environment” (Attewell, n.d.; Park, 2005). The majority of young teenagers having access to millions of business, schooling, and live news sites is remarkable. We as a generation have the power to reach out and help the ones who are less fortunate.…
