They also cited concerns that gaming addiction was damaging mental health.` `The following year a curfew was imposed on under-18s, who were restricted to 90 minutes of gaming on weekdays and three hours on weekends and holidays.` https://typicalstudent.org/hot/lists/5-countries-banned-mobiles-gadgets-schools https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_phone_use_in_schools Australia: `In Australian schools mobile phones are advised to be used only in case of calls to parents or guardians and that only if the parent or guardian allows the phone to be used to during school activities such as school excursions, camps and extra-curricular activities at school.` Mobile phones with cameras are restricted within school premises while entirely banned within certain sections such as changing rooms, bathrooms, gyms and swimming pools. They are only allowed to film or take photographs of people only with their signed permission or, if the person is under eighteen,[11] to have a parent or guardian to give a sign permission note allowing for these actions. If a student is found with a mobile phone or devices within these areas, they will be confiscated; and, depending on the situation, charges or consequences will be given. `Mobile phones are not allowed to be used for sending harassing or threatening messages. If a student does commit such an act, higher authorities will become involved, including the police since this being a violation of privacy and harassment. Due to bullying, privacy and harassment issues being a major issue in Australia, if a student or teacher does break this law, it may leave them with a criminal record, leaving them at a disadvantage in the future.` `Mobile phones are discouraged in terms of their use within the classroom unless they can be appropriately incorporated into the learning environment. "We want to ensure mobile phones and other smart devices complement students' learning and are handled at school in an age-appropriate way," said Premier Gladys Berejiklian in an ABC news article.[12]` `Australian educational institutes have been divided on whether phones should really be banned in the classrooms or only allowed to be used for certain amounts of time during school hours, but the New South Wales government has banned phones completely from its primary schools since 2019. "Technology should be there to help a child learn. It should not be there to upset them or make them feel uncomfortable," according to Premier Gladys Berejiklian.` The reason for banning phones is to stop bullying both online and physically and to remove distractions from the classrooms. "Mobile phones, unfortunately, are not only distracting but also causing stress for young childrenand we can't have that continue," NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian told Seven's Sunrise.[13] This will be implemented by removing students access to phones during the day unless a parent or guardian requests that the student needs to use it. The teacher will always have the phone kept with him somewhere where the student is still able to access it before and after school. United Kingdom: In the UK, a survey showed that there were no mobile phone bans in schools in 2001 but by 2007, 50% of schools had banned mobile phones during the school day. This number increased to 98% by 2012. These bans were implemented by either forbidding students from bringing phones onto school premises or by making students hand their phones in at the beginning of the day.[22] According to a study by the London School of Economics, students' academic performance improved when policies were implemented to ban cell phone usage in schools. This ban not only helped students score higher on exams but also reduced the students' temptation to use cell phones for non-scholarly purposes.[23] Secondary schools are introducing new, strict laws on mobile phones where students under sixteen years of age will have to put their phones away for the entire day after scientific evidence has demonstrated that students become more sociable, alert and active in the school environment without them.[24] Students place their phones inside a registered locker when they arrive at school and are only allowed to retrieve them once school has finished. With this happening, schools have found a positive impact on the students: more students are active outside, along with greater numbers attending clubs and social events. Nick Gibb told The Times, "I believe very strongly that children should be limiting their own [phone] use at home. Every hour spent online and on a smartphone is an hour less talking to family, and it's an hour less exercise and it's an hour less sleep. And of course, it is a lack of sleep that research is showing can have a damaging effect on a child's mental health."[25] The schools did note that the positive impact was greater for students under the age of eleven rather than in older students. In fact, it was shown that older students actually suffered from a restricted use of learning platforms on their phones such as educational apps assisting in studying or learning skills.[26] Students that were caught with their mobile phones between the school time period were given punishments such as detention, expulsion or warnings. In doing so, children have been taught to limit the amount of time they spend online and focus more on their school lives along with other social activities. Nevertheless, people in England have argued against this. Patsy Kane has stated, "There's a fantastic range of apps now for revisionand the students are really motivated to use them."[27] --- Are you a MexiCAN or a MexiCAN'T - Johnny Depp '*Once Upon A Time in Mexico*' <cite>KamenRiderBlade posted [p:955232956] in Schools ar...

KamenRiderBlade 06/20/21 10:44:43 AM #259:	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? https://www.sciencenewsforstudents.org/article/when-smartphones-go-school `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.

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. </quote>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? <quote>They then say there's positives to technology but they just haven't tested for it yet.</quote>How convenient. <quote>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.</quote>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. <quote>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.</quote>Did you even read your own article? https://www.sciencenewsforstudents.org/article/when-smartphones-go-school 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". </quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!
KamenRiderBlade 06/20/21 10:44:54 AM #260:	`The downside of mobile devices` `Distraction by mobile devices is indeed something to worry about. Jeffrey Kuznekoff studies communications at Miami University Middletown in Ohio. For one recent project, he let college students take notes during a video lecture. Afterward the students took a test on the material. During the video, one group of students could text or tweet about anything. Another group could text and tweet only if the messages related to the lecture. A control group couldnt text or tweet at all.` `Texting on things that are unrelated to class can hurt student learning, Kuznekoff found. Overall, the control and class-related-message groups did 70 percent better on the test than did students that could text and tweet about anything. That control and relevant-message groups also scored 50 percent higher on note-taking` And they did A/B testing with Controlled groups: The group that couldn't get distracted (Text/Tweet in class) & the group that was only allowed to (Text/Tweet about relevant class related message) performed 70% better on tests than the students who had free reign to do what they want with their "Smart Device" The Control & relevant-message group performed better by 50% on note taking. Those are some seriously high metrics for just "being able to pay more attention in class or be focused on the subject at hand that your teacher is teaching". `Youre putting yourself at a disadvantage when you are actively engaged with your mobile device in class and not engaged in whats going on, warns Kuznekoff. His team shared its findings in the July 2015 issue of Communication Education .` Confirming the issues on student distraction with Personal "Smart Devices" `Those findings mesh with what college students themselves report. Another new study found that the more time students said that they typically text, use social media or read online during class, the lower their grades are.` The students themselves even confirm that the more distracted they are by their personal "Smart Device's" the worst they perform. `A lot of students tend to think that they are good at multitasking, or doing more than one thing at a time, says Saraswathi Bellur. Shes a communications researcher at the University of Connecticut (UConn) in Storrs. In fact, she and her colleagues found, multitasking in class is likely to harm their academic performance.` Alot of students think they can multi-task, but the reality is that Multi-Tasking in class is more likely to hurt their Academic Performance. `We also have data that show that people who multitask during class or while doing homework have to spend more time studying, notes UConn coauthor Kristine Nowak. In other words, she argues, students who use mobile devices for something other than research or note-taking during class are not efficient, and it is costing them time.` `Concludes Nowak, People believe they are better at multitasking than they are and this is leading them to bad study habits. Her group shared its findings in the December 2015 issue of Computers in Human Behavior.` `Drawn to distraction?` `The classroom isnt the only place where students use mobile devices when they should be focusing on something else. Talking and texting on cell phones play a role in more than one of four U.S. motor vehicle crashes. The National Safety Council in Itasca, Ill., made that estimate last May after reviewing 2013 data on road accidents.` `In another recent study, many college students admitted that they often text, even when they know they shouldnt. Examples included texting during prayer services or in romantic situations.` `College students seem to have almost a compulsion to use their cellphones, says Marissa Harrison. They cant resist checking their cellphones for texts. Harrison is a psychologist at Pennsylvania State University in Harrisburg who worked on this college-student study. Social Science Journal published her teams findings in June 2015.` `In extreme cases, using mobile devices and social media too much can turn into an addiction. By that, scientists mean people develop a compelling need to engage in some behavior, even when they know the consequences can be bad.` One August 2014 study showed that college-age cellphone users can show some of the same symptoms that drug addicts do. For example, some students felt anxious when their phone was not available. Students showing signs of addiction also spent more and more time using their phones. Many admitted their phone use was excessive. A second study that same month concluded that students can become addicted to Facebook (although better ways to measure that addiction are needed). The Journal of Behavioral Addictions published both studies. `What should you do?` `Try to avoid splitting your attention between whats going on in class and whatever you might feel a need to do with your mobile device, advises Kuznekoff at Miami University. Otherwise, he says, theres a danger youre spreading your attention too thin.` `In order to pay more attention in class or even outside of school I recommend trying to obstruct your habits, says Aagaard. For example, turn your cellphone or tablet off, or at least put it in airplane mode. Then you wont wind up checking texts or using social-media sites without thinking.` `Closing your laptop or tablet and putting your phone away more often could be good advice even outside the classroom. Stresses Harrison: Youre going to miss out on a whole new and exciting world if you cant get your head out of your phone screen.` Your author basically agrees with my conclusion. Avoid using your Personal "Mobile Device" to distract yourself. They recommend turning their Smartphone/Tablet OFF or putting it in "AirPlane Mode". That bars you from surfing the web and checking social media. They even recommend closing your LapTop/Tablet.

Uniform policies do nothing but cause teachers to waste precious class time on calling people out for not having their shirts tucked in or stupid bullshit like that. The cure is worse than the disease. That's honestly how I've always felt about phones in school too. They are a tool, that you can use productively or waste your time with. Someone in class tapping on their phone never disrupted my education at all. What did disrupt my education, however, was the teacher stopping class repeatedly to confiscate their phones and argue about it. Classes where the teachers didn't care, I feel like I got more out of because they weren't interrupting class to impose their will on their students. Personal responsibility factors into this too. I chose to use my phone to take notes. If someone else chooses to use their phone to play games, well it's their own education that they are ruining. That's on them. The only way it can affect my education is if the teacher starts pulling a power play and interrupting education time to argue with them. <cite>Darklit_Minuet posted [p:955234875] in Schools ar...

Your arguments are so childish. It's a different Point of View. Something you can't seem to comprehend or accept that we want to do things differently. You're the one trying to make it sound so noble because your side banned it, and the rest of us are bad because we didn't do what you liked. Those are the proper responses to when someone like you can only respond with insane troll logic and drivel. Funny, I just keep hearing a broken record coming out of you, the same ole message with nothing of value to contribute in this debate. That's literally been my argument the entire time. Your argument is banning all devices from school because it's always a distraction. So if you're now acknowledging it can be and is used educationally then I've made my point. Yes, specifically for Students from bringing in their own Personal "Smart Devices" or LapTops. NOT from Teachers/Faculty/School providing it for students at a appropriate time for educational purposes. There's a thing called nuance, you can't seem to understand it. It's an in-joke that ties in with my sig but it does get the bonus of applying to tools like you. Abrasive & a jerk towards others, what a wonderful personality trait you have. Again, more drivel, because your stance on it is weak. Same ole non-sense from you again. Notice how it's illegal in more countries than cell phone bans and unlike cell phones bans they've consistently becoming illegal in more and more countries. Times are changing, and more places are joining in as I listed above. Again more drivel nothing but hot air and BS spouting out of your mouth.

You tried to change it to only personal laptops being bad and now you're trying to claim as "personal device" even though nobody was saying people should be able to browse social media and unrelated sites in class. The only person moving goal posts are you. I've been arguing the same thing the entire time. Personal Smart Devices & LapTops are a hindrance to learning. I've been telling you the entire time that School/Teacher/Faculty provided devices for learning are fine. You just failed to comprehend things and only see what you wanted to see. skermac posted... i say discipline for dress code or tech devices should not be done by individual teachers, place a non teacher in each class room to monitor things and do all that stuff like confiscation Good luck finding budget for that So who's going to monitor kids if they are sleeping or goofing around with their friends in the back? Assistants, you dope. How often do you see each class room filled with assitants? It's usually pretty rare to see them in every single class. Because what your agenda pushing mind doesn't get is that studies aren't meant to push an agenda. They're meant to be neutral and point out things while still acknowledging the nuances of their evidence. You'd know this if you actually graduated from school. As opposed to your incessant cheer leading for Smart Devices in every school, even during class time when teachers are supposed to be the main focus of every student. If you actually participated in school, you'd notice how easy it is for distractions to happen to most students. It never said that. You're just making up your nonsense because you can't cope with reality. Smartdevices are used both provided by the school and from a student's own belongings. Where does it say that students provide their own Smart Devices?

The rest of the article is about how you can use your Smart Device in class. That's nothing special or new. That's just explaining the features on the device and the functionality. Did you even read the entire article line by line and comprehend it? `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, not have improved.

But it's a new trend with growing popularity. If I wanted I could find multiple schools in every country that teach creationism too. Although with the kind of person you are I wouldn't be surprised if you supported that too. Again labeling somebody you don't know to believe in something when I've never backed that stance in any way/shape/form. SerperiorThanU posted...

No, it just makes you look like a demented weirdo, although that's something you've made more than clear with your troll logic. Wow, more insults because you are intolerant of people who write text messages differently then the way you personally expect them to. Talk about intolerant attitudes. Your garbage reading comprehension never ceases to amaze. The phones were always allowed for educational use. They're considering allowing any use due to covid. Please, show me where in the article does it state that they're allowing "Any use" due to covid? Allowing use of the COVID app isn't a blank check for "Any Use".
