Lanny : Cell Phones are good for education for many reasons. You can use cell phones for research purposes. Although most schools have at least 1 computer in the classroom and a computer lab, sometimes this still isn’t enough. It can also be expensive to provide a computer to each student at school, so a good option is to use cell phones for research instead. In addition, cell phones have many educational apps as well. Which do you think would be more fun and exciting for a student? Either studying with a boring book that is hard to understand, or playing an educational app that is still studying, but much more exciting. I would definitely choose the second choice. Dinda : Although cell phones do have some great apps that will help in educating them and maybe further advancement in learning, there is also major distraction. A lot of kids already use phones in school to text and by making cell phones able to be used you are going to have many children distracted. Some say "Books are boring and they won't help me learn". Well, buddy let me tell you something. Books are the oldest source of history in the world and are a lot better at teaching than electronic devices that will keep kids distracted. The problem isn't that the books are "Boring" it is that kids want to be able to use electronics during school. It doesn't matter if the cell phones will help, most kids will just use them for other things such as texting, facebook, twitter, etc. A book is a good way to grasp someone's attention because you can only read the words in that book, you can't go read a different thing in that book like you can with a cell phone or ipod. The fact is that a lot of the people saying cell phones are good for kids who already use them in school or want an option to. Sure they can be used as a calculator, or for looking up definitions for words, but out of all the people who use cell phones in school already how many really use it for that purpose? Little to none. Electronic devices are too much of a distraction and should not be allowed. Dinda argues that cell phone should be banned for ____
