4/27 Can Cellphones Be Educational Tools? - Test *
I feel that the use of mobile devices like cellphones and tablets as educational tools are a very good idea, it is more convenient a mobile devices would also come in hand outside of school. Mobile devices would allow students to quickly communicate with their teachers and fellow students. They could be used to complete homework, projects, etc. As a student who is often sick, and out of school my mobile device has allowed me to get my work while at home. With my mobile device I have also been able to e-mail my work to my teachers. Mobile devices also help the environment, by reducing the amount of handouts that teachers have to give and papers that students hand in. All of those papers eventually end up in the garbage, so let's try and avoid that all together.
The use of mobile devices not only benefits students, teachers benefit from it as well. As of now my teachers can e-mail me just about any assignment. Whether it's a power point, a news article, or a worksheet, they can be sent to my e-mail almost instantly. A mobile devices use in a class is almost measureless. They can be utilized to enhance a students learning experience. Instead of just reading out a boring and out dated text book, teachers could show their students videos or other material.
