basically, I have to conduct a survey on this question for my sociology assignment.
My topic was should students from the ages 11-15 be allowed to use technology in class and break, so like mobiles, Laptops, Ipods etc..
For:
Argument for it is that it could benefit their learning, a they could research in class get extra information and complete tasks to a high standard. Obviously teachers will check there being used appropriately. Also, listening to music helps a lot a students concentrate when writing or doing artwork, Obviously wont be allowed to use it when the teacher is talking.
Against:
Argument against is that Students may stop concentrating and take advantage of this luxury, they may use it for social networking and games. Also, Students may not get as much work as wanted done, because their spending all there time researching, or listening to music, which can be very distracting to the person listening to it, and the people around them.
So, taking into consideration these factors, what is your opinion on this matter?
All contributions is much appreciated, thank you all
