Changing Our Mindset in Regards to Cellphones in the Classroom
Carels, Breanna
BU Journal of Graduate Studies in Education, v11 n2 p9-12 2019
Cell phone use is on the rise with teenagers, and is causing some educational issues that are concerning. Students are suffering from nomophobia, which leads to attention issues and stress and anxiety, as well as poor decision making in regards to cellphones. Educators must recognize the problems that cell phones are causing and work to find ways to solve these problems. Educators need learning opportunities that will change their mindset on cell phones. Eventually, educators will understand the educational benefits of incorporating cell phones into the classroom. Updating school policies and classroom expectations will ensure appropriate use of cell phones.
