Utilizing A Device in Academics

By Gareth Jale


In class, teachers endorse the usability of the mobile phones since they can easily generate small group projects to carry of research activities on internet. In return, the students will gain more due to involvement in the group discussions.

There are many different devices that can be used in schools. Some has been beneficial but others were not that much. For instance, using mobile phones at school may benefit a student that appropriately uses it on educational matters and not in other matters such as entertainment. The real controversy is that the administrator stands with students as well as mobile phones. Different schools handle mobile phones cases differently. Most of the schools do not allow their students to carry mobile phone with them unless it is used for research purposes.

There can be different steps that these schools should take to handle with mobile issues. Among them is banning the students from having the phones at school completely. But if a student brought the phone he should be expelled from school or the mobile should be confiscated. Another policy allows the student to bring their cell phones to school but on condition of only using them during the non-educational periods such as in between breaks. There is also another policy which allows the students to use the mobile phones anytime anywhere including during their lessons so that to carry out searches. These mobiles should be taken as learning tools.

The reasons for allowing and disallowing the carrying of phones to the schools are different. This is to avoid cheating during examinations, reducing accessibility of inappropriate contents, watching pornographic videos as well as setting up drug deals to mention but a few. The teachers discourage this because they feel that the mobile interfere in their lectures. These entire factors raise a lot of questions for administrators.

The students must be provided with proper lectures on the usage of mobile phones before allowing the mobile for school. The administrators feel a lot of difficulties when they discourage the mobile in schools because students do not follow their instructions. For the administrators that have accepted the use of cell phone says that it easy to handle such cases since there is no abuse cases. For these schools what students are encouraged to do is carrying Motorola Droid RAZR accessories are useful because they enhance the productivity of your mobile device.

This policy enables the teachers to teach by incorporating mobile phones as learning tools which student can use to search for more information in relation to the lesson being taught. This will increase the understanding level of the students. Moreover, it is good to use a screen protector which offers maximum protection to your screen without hindering its performance at all. In school there is a wide need for a case which can be used by students to carry their phones, hang them in an appropriate place as well as protecting the pone from damages that may be experienced accidentally.
