 Introduction

Cell phones are good. According to debate .org it should be allowed in public schools
for many reasons. They are good for education, safety, and much more. Cell phones are good for
education for many reasons. First you can use cell phones for research purposes. Although many
schools have at least 1 computer in the classroom and a computer lab, sometimes this still isnt
enough. It can also be expensive to provide a computer to each student at school, so a good
option is to use cell phones for research instead.

Some people think that some apps are bad and students will get distracted and use them
in class. And the truths is that cell phones have many educational apps as well, which do you
think would be more fun and exciting for a student? Either studying with a boring book that is
hard to understand, or playing an educational app that is still studying, but much more exciting.

It doesnt if your phone is expensive or not, almost every single phone has a calculator.
Lots of students are required to have a calculator as one of their school supplies, but if they have
one on their phone, then they dont have to get one. Dictionary, cell phones can be used as a
dictionary, youll only need to install a dictionary app on your mobile phones, which can be very
useful in a classroom setting. And also stop watch, lots of phones have a stopwatch, which can
be used in science and P.E. class.

 Statement of the Problem

Cellphone usage on school campus is an increasing problem, Not only do cellphones interrupt

instructional time by ringing, students are texting under the desk, surfing the internet, taking

pictures of tests forwarding information to their peers, and are otherwise distracted. Discipline

issues are on the rise; some schools have even banned cellphones make excellent learning tools

and should be used in innovative ways for our digital natives to make learning relevant. The

reality is cellphones are not going away. Is there an effective and educative way to incorporate

cellphones usage into the classroom? Should they be banned altogether? Or should there be

policies in place for limited use

 Review of Related Literature

According to Lauren Barack (January 7, 2013). Many high school teachers are becoming

comfortable with incorporating smartphones and other digital devices into classrooms to aid with

learning, a new study finals that a majority of high school students are already using cellphones

in class-text, send emails, and browse in social media sites.

Based on Tamara Brenner, a book centre interim managing director, walking around

campus, cellphones are ubiquitous. What do students do with their cellphones once they walk

into the classroom? In one survey at six different universities, college student reported using

their cellphones an average of 11 times per day in class. In another study, 92 % of college

students reported using their cellphones to send text messages during class.

According to Jeffery H. Kuznekoff, Stevie Munz and Scott Titsworth. Mobile phone use

in the classroom by using an experimental design to study how message content (related or

unrelated to class lecture) and message creation (responding to or creating a message) impact

student learning. Participants in eight experimental groups and a control group watched a video

lecture, took notes and completed tests of students learning. The Control and relevant message

groups earn a 10-77 % higher letter grade, scored 70% higher on recalling information and

scored 50% higher on note taking than students who composed tweets or responded to irrelevant

messages. Sending/Receiving messages correlated to class content negatively impacted learning

and note taking, while related messages did not appear to have a significant negative impact.
