Hello Everyone in this awesome community
Hope you all are doing great
For Today's prompt we will be looking at the topic, which talks about wether students should be allowed to use Phones in their school, considering the fact that smart phones now has AI features.
It's quite a very thought provoking topic.
The Unavoidable Reality is that Smartphones usage in school can't be prohibited, because presently smartphone are among the Necessity of the Modern School or Educational Section,
Although some countries may not fully make use of it in their schools but it's very inevitable, students will keep using smartphones in this modern age.
I remembered when I was in secondary school, that around 10 to 15 years ago, this was the time of the Growing popularity of Smartphones in My country, although cyber cafe are still very much patronised then, but on our mobile phones, sites like Google was the main research tool, although we have bing and other sites, but it makes it easier for me to make some research,do my homework, get up to date for some news, even listening to music and videos. Smartphones has really been very useful although In those days we are not permitted to carry our phones into the school premises.
Fast forward to my University days, our Lecturers will be the ones who instructed us to make research on our phone, even for my projects. SmartPhones are great devices when put into good use.
Lets see the Benefits of Students using a smartphone in school
- More Enhanced Engagement and Personalized learning that suit the Students interests.
What about the Disadvantages of students using phones
Dependence and over reliance on AI can reduce critical thinking / problem solving skills, and undermine the very foundations of academic rigor. Its just crazy how this could go.
Digital Divide: all fingers are not equal, so not every student can afford to buy, Pads, laptop and smart phones this can cause inequalities in education.
