Second articles #6

In today's discussion the first article asked, If phones were okay in class? It was proven that fiddling with your phone in class was not a distraction from homework. It was only the homework that was being done. It was also used as a graphing calculator or a alarm that notifies the student when the bus arrives. This device is not only used just for phone calls it is also used to take ideas and make money from it. They also said that Mississippi State University was going to introduce this program to the college course with new classes in iPhone internship. In which drew students into business and non-computer fields. And even English major may have a spot in it. Apple is not involved in any of this, except in Stanford who is being tough by two employees that will be lecturing. I don't have any problems with having phone in class as long as you use them the right way. If your teacher ask to take out your phone there shouldn't be any problem.



The other article was about if schools should be wired to the internet. The school should be wired to the internet because it the children have more access to the internet the more the child will learn how to us it. Rather than paying all this money later on and being tough how to use the computer. Students who use computers and the internet in class will perform much better on test in there basic skills. And will turn in more homework and final projects. In a way having a computer and being able to surf the web is a bad idea not only because of the bad ideas they can pick up but also too much time at night getting into other web sites that are not approve by the parent. And by the time they get off it will be past there bed time, which my cause a problem the next morning. By not waking up for school.
