My social issue that I chose was cell phone use in the classroom. Cell phones have evolved over time and have incorporated in to the daily lives of society. Students are the largest user of mobile technology and it has found it’s way into the classroom. Teachers, administrators, counselors and principles, all have different opinions on the issue. Some believe that cell phones have no place in the classroom because they are a distraction and can be used for wrong. I believe that cellphone should be used in class for educational reason. Using mobile technology could be a great help to students. Allowing cell phones in class would allow the students to take quick and easy notes, allow them to contact the teacher if they are away or home sick. Cellphones in class would also provide the ability to report any inappropriate behavior. Some of the cons of having cell phones in class would be that some student wouldn’t use them for education.

Would you like to use your phone in class if it was for educational purposes? What are some ways you can incorporate cell phone use in a productive way.
