70 percent of

If students are busy

using cell phones for

purposes.

Administrators
are fearful of
students
knowing and
understanding
something more
than they do.
Schools do not

Developing

Should Cell
phones be
banned in
school?

teacher at Franklin
D. Roosevelt High
School in New
York

Older phone
users are less
likely to use
new
technological
products
compared to
younger users.

Mobile phone
behaviors are
problematic, and as
result, there is
more control over
them in a variety of
settings, such as
hospitals, planes,
and schools.

Analyzed the
correlation
between
technology and
factors like
gender and
age.
Young people
are more
susceptible to
high use and
problem use.

BYOD can work

for educators
and students.

BYOD programs
could increase the
digital divide that
earlier one-to-one
initiatives were
meant to narrow.

A Bring Your
Own Device
program could
save money if
implemented
properly, but
tossing teachers
into a BYOD
environment
without any
training
wouldnt be very
effective.

When students
bring their own
devices,
cyberbullying and
other problems
associated with
social media may
come with them.

If banning
mobile devices
becomes an
outdated option,
districts must
ensure that
schools have the
tools and
resources to
create safe and
constructive
learning
environments.

Policy of no

devices during

was inconsistent
with societal
norms.

Permit students to
possess cell phones
but require them to
keep their phones
"out of sight, out of
mind" during school
hours.

Have more time

to focus on what
matters: teaching
and learning.

Student might need

that phone for an

What is a digital
native?

Administrators
and teachers
regard cell

possession and
usage as a
negative
distraction and
deterrent to
learning rather
than as an
educational
learning tool.

School cell phone

generally quite

To ensure that
students use devices
for educational
purposes: change the
classroom dynamic
from lecturing at the
front of the room to
having no traditional
front of the
classroom at all

Students are
quieter and more
focused on their
assignments
when they are
allowed to listen
to their music
during
individual
classwork.

Smartphones have
all the tools
necessary to boost
student learning.

Suggests being
open to letting
students have
some fun with
their devices.
