Should we ban cellphones???? What do you guys think
ReplyDeleteCertainly not....there must be an acceptable use policy that governs how cell phones are used for teaching and learning activities.
ReplyDeleteCellphones should not be banned from school. Students need to be taught the proper mobiquette and warned about the danngers of exposing themselves on the net. A proper ICT policy should be put in place and evryone made aware of the procedures.
ReplyDeleteOnline safety - It is important to have an updated and relevant ICT Policy in place so that when irregularities occur it is consulted to address such. In addition to that educate learners about different issues related to online safety from time to time.
ReplyDeleteThe use of social media is not enough for mobile devices to be banned in classroom. Rather, i would suggest that a more contollled measure should be adopted to monitor what social networking activities goes on in the classroom. They should be sensitized and trained and also adviced on how to use social networking to make them better 21st century learners that are able to use the internet for collecting information that is useful for their learning. They should also know the dangers of the social netwoking and how to identify potential dangers and avoid them. By Duma
ReplyDeleteI will read the ICT policy of the school to the learners especially the part that talks about mobiqqutte. Then will advise them not to talk to strangers especially in social networks. They must not go to isolated places when invited on social media
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with you. The same rules apply online that applies offline. You dont talk to strangers!
DeleteThe learners should be riminded about the ICT policy.
ReplyDeleteIt is not good enough to ban mobile devices in the classroom but learners must be taught mobiquette and also ICT policy must be used.
ReplyDeleteI think this online on classrooms is not right coz learners won't listen attentively.
