Mobiles in Class

Hi Everyone!

At Literacy on Thursday 25th, July 2019 we had to debate whether phones should be allowed in class or

not, Mr.Gillstrom, put me on the side arguing that phones shouldn’t be allowed in class, I didn’t agree with that but I didn’t have a choice so I just went with it. 

We’ve been told to write a reflection about the debate and post it, so here's my reflection.

During our debate, both sides had great ideas and points, but I think still we were both very

underprepared.

For example, our side had some great points and spoke with clear voices, but then the other side seemed like they couldn’t beat that and sounded quite unconfident.  Then on the other hand once they had spoken we were stumped too, so I can't really say anything. 

In my opinion, though I think cellphones should be allowed in class with specific rules, like these for

example:

1) No games that haven't got to do with learning 
2) No more than 10 minutes at a time unless you have been told otherwise
3) No texting/calling anyone.
4) Only to be used for learning tasks.

I think these rules are pretty good, but if you think otherwise, or you have any other rule suggestions,

comment down below!

I think phones are better than our laptops because cellphones are

1) easier to carry around and

2) less hassle to move from space to space

3) They're easier to use {in my opinion}

So that's both reasons why we should have phones and my reflection of our classroom debate,
hope you enjoyed reading! thanks!
