They never said that. They just say that using it with no regulations could negatively impact your grade (which playing video games even at home do too) which was the focus of the study.

And during Class Time, who's going to be the one to regulate it's usage?

The teacher is busy teaching, they don't have all day to monitor every student.

Do you expect every student to be perfect angels and not distract themselves?

They then say there's positives to technology but they just haven't tested for it yet.

How convenient.

Man you really are a shit critical thinker. Obviously the proper structure INVOLVES THE STUDENTS. The study wasn't about the teachers using smartdevices. The study was on students using smartdevices. So then if the study was on there being a negative impact on the students but they say it can be beneficial with the proper structure, why would they be referring to teachers using it, and not the students? With your critical thinking skills I'd doubt you passed 3rd grade if you weren't intentionally shitposting.

And the SmartDevices were PROVIDED to the Students, by the Teachers/Schools.

Not brought from home, used during Class Time

Wow, you can't even understand the details properly.

No? Teachers generally consider them positive things. Are you really so blinded by confirmation bias that you think that them simply acknowledging there are flaws means that the whole thing is bad erasing all the good things? Video games should be banned by your logic.

Did you even read your own article?

If youre like most kids these days, you use a smartphone, and you use it often. You may even use that phone to text, tweet or go online during class.
In the United States, 73 percent of teens own or have access to a smartphone. A mere 12 percent have no cell phone. Those numbers come from a 2015 survey by the Pew Research Center in Washington, D.C.
Some 90 percent of teens with cell phones send texts. The typical number is 30 texts per day. Thats the median number from the Pew data. Additionally, the Pew report shows, 92 percent of teens go online daily. Almost one in four claims to be online almost constantly.
92% of Teens are online daily, that's a VERY high percent, nearly all teens.

You need to be tech-savvy, both in and outside of school. But too much tech time at school for things other than classwork can cost you, new studies show. Unfortunately, kicking the habit of using cellphones and other mobile devices in class can be a hard.
They literally admit that students have a hard time stopping themselves from being distracted by the SmartDevices in class, which hinders their learning performance & education.

Read on to see what scientists say about the use of smartphones and other mobile devices in class and what it could mean for todays teens.

How mobile devices can help in class
Smartphones, tablets and other devices can be very handy at school. Curious about something the teacher said? A quick Internet search can turn up more facts. Want to prepare charts and present top-notch class reports? As the saying goes, theres an app for that.
So they explain what your SmartDevice can do in terms of features and functions. Whoop de doo!

Mobile devices make it easy to type and organize notes. Calculator apps can help with math problems. Devices can even replace heavy, paper textbooks.
And thats not all. If we have these devices, we can do a lot of things around student interests and projects, says Vincent Cho at Boston College in Massachusetts. For example, mobile devices often are cheaper and less bulky than regular computers. But, like regular computers, they allow Internet access. With that, students can share ideas and opinions within or beyond the classroom. Devices can connect interested students with groups and experts in that field as well.
Again, listing the features & functionality that Smart Devices can do, nothing we don't already know.

Cho and Joshua Littenberg-Tobias, also at Boston College, recently surveyed teachers at a high school that urges all students to use mobile devices.
So the authors surveyed teachers that specifically push their students to use mobile devices.

In general, teachers felt these devices could improve learning, the Boston College team reported last April at a meeting of the American Educational Research Association.
The teachers felt it "COULD improve learning", not will

But teachers at that high school also were worried about their students becoming distracted.
A all too common issue in the class room when students have access to the same "Smart Devices".
