Should student uses smart phone during the class？

Qiqi

Nowadays, technology is developing very quickly, and everyone uses a smart phone. However, I think students shouldn't be allowed to use their smart phone in class. This is bad for the learning experience for three reasons: it is lack of their thinking, distracting, and it is a bad manner.

First, using a smart phone in class is distracting. The electronic dictionary is a useful piece of technology on the smart phones that international students like to use in class. Actually, international students usually use their own language-English dictionaries instead of normal dictionaries. This is not helpful for studying English because using normal dictionaries can to think and understand which vocabulary you don’t know in English. Also some smart phone have games, so when a student is bored, they will play those games in class. So I think students shouldn't use their smart phone in class because it is distracting. They might play games instead of paying attention to the teacher.

Second, using a smart phone to search for answers in class causes a lack of thinking ability. Students won’t listen to the teacher and think by themselves, so they will make them lack of thinking. They might search everything they want online. Therefore, I think students shouldn't use technology in class because it is lack of their thinking.

The third, using smart phone in class is not good manners. Mostly students like to use smart phone in class to chat with friends and play games. They might not look at the textbook or don’t answer the teacher’s questions. It is not good manners.

In sum, if a student uses a smart phone in the classroom, it is distracting, lack of their thinking and it is not a good manner. The classroom is a place of study and it needs to stay that way. This manner is a disadvantage for students. I think students shouldn't be allowed to use a smart phone in class.
