It is even needed for Digital Simulation/ teaching and learning on cyber class, they may choose to use laptop, mobile or tab.

We can't stop them carrying them (human rights!!!) but we can stop them using them ie get them to switch them off during class time.

All this "high tech" stuff which is designed to make life easier has, I'm afraid to say, done just the opposite, Our youngsters are in danger of disappearing into a "virtual" world and will only be able to communicate by text or text speak!! Gone are the days when kids went out and "made" their own fun, what happened to football, skipping, hoola hoops etc etc, they have been replaced by computer screens and "i" things!!! Call me a "Luddite" but I do wish for a return to many of the "old" ways.

Hi !

 

It's interesting question but most of us we not bother about it.

 

Actually ! I don't see any need for the kids to bring their cell phone with them .Because from the time they enter their school's,they are under the school response. And if they need to call their parents. We should see why they need them ,then we can allow them to call from the school line. ( If its urgent)

 

thank you!

No problem if they are used properly and they can even be used as a tool for learning ( I agree with Ms Majeda).Educationalists search for the best way of attracting students' attention by using their favourite hobbies.Also , students find a difference between school where primitive ways of teaching are used and their abilities to use modern technology.It is a gap and teachers should bridge the gap by using the mobile as a learning tool.
