mobile+phones

[[image:Untitled.png]]
My poll was taken on face book over a period of 24 hours. 20 people gave there opinions regarding mobiles phones been used in the classrooms or not.As i reflect on this issue.I am still a little unsure of how i feel as a student teacher i don't find the need for mobile phones in the classroom however other devices such as laptop, i pads and ipods, yes these devices allow children to further develop their interest, passion and creativity in ways which we never could in years before. children on the other side of the world now can interact with children in our classes. learning new forms of lifestyles, cultures and languages by using theses devices.

however this also brings other issues such as are the students using the "web" for the right reason, high-school's students may use face-book, twitter and other social network sites for inappropriate use such as bulling and other websites eg: fashion rather then their school work and as a school should we encourage such use. a school should would have to put in place a system to maintain that students will not use inappropriate sites and many school have a bar as such in place.

Primary school will be different as many student are not of age to have a face-book or twitter( however may have). Primary school children are at an age where they want to develop their skills and ipads,ipods and interactivite whiteboards allows children to create what their minds are creating, brings objects to life and enabling them to create and tell a story.

i wish to add to this as i develop more as a teacher and as i grow in E-Learning.

Friends of mine off facebook views on mobiles in classrooms. [|Troy Park] (2012) yes, anything to connect better with youths and making learning more fun is a positive, as long as its somehow monitored correctly and used effectively. If we don’t move with the times we will lost the interest of new generations, in a world were technology is king we need to work with it and not fight against it, it just needs to be governed when it comes to phones in classrooms. [|Kelly Thorn] (2012) They have no place in the classroom!

[|Rachel Howard] (2012) No... They should learn the old fashion way
