USING CELL PHONES IN THE
CLASSROOMSShavonne Ross
3/9/2009
Pros
In case of emergencies To do online polls
A good way to keep students connected Like a small computer in the classroom
Cons
Known to be a distraction Bullying
Cheating Texting during class
My Personal Opinion
I think that students should be able to bring their cell phones to school depending on the grade they are in. I think fourth graders are responsible enough to know how to use their phone appropriately. There has to be guidelines set so the students know the rules and the consequences if they break the rules.
