Cell Phones in the Classroom

Do you think there should be cell phones in the classroom? This is question that an increasing number of educators need to answer. Technology is everywhere we look, students are carrying laptops in their bags and phones in their pockets that can connect them to almost anything they would want to know anywhere, anytime.


I think that the use of cell phones and other technology enhances student’s education. You can use phones to see who could look up the answerer the fastest; students could text in answers. Today’s students have grown up using technology their whole lives. We as teachers need to adapt to our students and do whatever it takes to reach them so that we can educate them.
