Electronics in the
classroom
Almost everyone
has a phone or tablet now a days because of useful and convenient it is to have
wifi on the go and access work and it is Electronics are used everywhere around
the world because of how fast and easy it is to communicate and share
information to others globally. Often time’s electronics are used in the
classrooms of colleges because the students are older and more mature and no
one can tell them to put them away because its not prohibited. Electronics are
used to socialize, share photos and browse Internet and much more and with all
those features students become distracted. Electronics should not be allowed in
the classroom because they can distract students from learning, in an emergency
situation phones can create problems, and it makes it easier for students to
bully and gossip.
When students are
in class are trying to learn they can easily get distracted because some
students have short attention spans. The students are not going to learn and
completely understand the information that is being presented to them. So
letting electronics in the classroom will slow the learning process down an
enormous amount. Students need to be able to listen to the teacher without
multitasking and forgetting what is being taught to them. Having electronics in
school will make it easier for students to go on social networks, games and
much other apps on their electronic device that they may have and even answer
calls during class. (hazelunion)
In emergency situations phone signals can get
in the way of having to call the police. It will make the whole situation more
complicated to communicate. The students first priority is to make sure they
are safe in school so if all the students are on their phone while there’s an
emergency then the greater the risk of the students lives being at danger. So
having electronics in school will not be a safe decision especially when it can
cause problems with security. The students will be way safer in school if they
do not bring their electronics because it can be a safety hazard.
Electronics
shouldn’t be allowed also because it will allow easy ways to for students t it
will allow easy ways to for students to easily bully. By allowing electronics
in school this is allowing students to go on their social Medias and take
videos or pictures of a person to make them mad because they can post them in
attempt to criticize or be rude. Students can go post bad posting about the
people in their class. Also they can text others gossip about other students
that will cause fights and arguments between students.
Although
electronics are the main source of entertainment and leisure time when it comes
to them being in the classroom it’s not such a good idea. Electronics aren’t
meant to be in the classroom because it can distract students from their
learning. It will be best to not have them in the classroom so it doesn’t
become a problem to the learning environment of the students trying to learn.
Electronics should not be allowed in the classroom because they can distract
students from learning, in an emergency situation phones can create problems,
and it makes it easier for students to bully and gossip.
Overall Thoughts-
Electronics being used in the classroom is not a good idea because with
electronics comes distractions. Once students get distracted they will lose
track and focus on the task at hand and are most likely to not understand the
information. Students need a learning environment where they will not be
tempted during class to do bad things. There are already distractions caused by
talking during class so with electronics in the equation it will only make it
way worse. Therefore I think that for a better overall learning environment
there shouldn’t be any electronics in the classroom.
