The discussion from last week continues. This week you need to have at least FIVE(5) - 50+ word responses to people for last weeks discussion. You will put the comment in this blog - when you post follow the example post given by me. You need a total of 5 posts to 5 different people.
You must respond to anyone who responded to your initial post in disagreement, and you must defend your opinion on ALL posts that someone has disagreed with you. I want to see good open conversation on the Pros and Cons of cell phones in the classroom. This means you may have more than 5 posts, and if you don't defend you will lose 5 points. Example: If on Brooke's initial post Briielle disagrees with something she has said - Brooke must respond to her. If Jack posts a disagreement on her to Brooke she musts respond to that post. If Brooke posted a disagreement to Alyssa and Alyssa responds here then Brooke must respond to Alyssa. Think about the fact that you always want to defend yourself to the end in person - and the same is true here. If you didn't do your DQ last week you must 1st complete last weeks DQ before you can begin this DQ. Post your initial DQ #4 response here and then comment on a total of 7 posts to make up the two from last week. Check the DQ throughout the week making sure that you respond to all post that someone has disagreed to ensure ALL points for the week. (Any post made on Friday will not require a response)

Alyssa - you make a valid point in regards to Cyber bullying and having students without phones at school will not stop it, but if it happens at school does that make the school responsible for the actions of the student? If a student is bullying a student at school the school must take actions to correct and eliminate the problem because they can see or hear the actions. If a student is allowed to use their phone at school does the school have the right to search the phone similar to the way they can search a locker? I think having students using their phones at schools puts a new spin on what the school must control. Another issue is if a student is using a school's wifi does the student give unwritten permission for the school to access the students information? All things that you haven't addressed in your post.
Alyssa

Mrs. Miller- I don't think that the school is responsible for the actions of a student cyberbullying at school. The students phone is something that they purchased and is something that is theirs, not school related at all. It's not like the lockers because the lockers belong to the school. A student is doing what they want on their phone, if they're cyberbullying at school the school can't control that. The school can block certain websites with the wifi, but they can't control what the students do and who they bully on their phones.

I think that the school makes it so that less students use their phones because then they would take it token away for a while, or have suspension and I think they are only preventing cyber bullying during school because as soon as the students leave the school the school cannot stop them from going on their phones and bullying someone over the internet, and also it will have less of a problem from students using other people’s phone and then it gets lost/stolen or in their locker. I think students should always be allowed to have their phones at school because what if they have homework for the next class and need to look something up the definition of a word or something they don’t understand a word on their homework, or if they needed to call their parent’s for something and they couldn’t use the schools because the all the other teachers were eating lunch or having another class so that they can get a better grade on their assignment so they don’t start failing.
Tanner
10/2/2016 02:14:42 pm
Jack I agree with what you said about them only preventing the cyber bullying during school because if they were cyber bulling I think that they wouldn't be cyber bullying during school they would only be doing that on their own time. I have to disagree with what you said about them looking it up the definition on their phones because the teachers would have dictionary's in their classrooms or they would have computers.
Jack Lyle
10/3/2016 08:15:37 pm
Tanner - you are correct about the teachers having dictionary's but what I meant is that if they had to look up a word in the dictionary for instance last year ( or the year before that) we had to look up a word that wasn't in the dictionary, and also what would the difference be between looking it up on their phone or the computer? and also I said if they couldn't go into a classroom because they had a class.
Imigin
10/6/2016 04:05:30 pm
Jack, I agree with you for the most. I Agree with about how you said that we need to use our phones between classes because I sometimes have to text my mom and ask what do am I suppose do you with my younger brother. I also use my phone in between class to found a article for science.
Tanner
10/2/2016 01:46:51 pm
the school doesn't really gain anything because the students don't have their phones so they might be angry at the teachers so they wouldn't pay attention to the teachers. I think the students should be able to use their phones because if there was something bad to happen and they didn't have their phones they wouldn't be able to do anything about it. On the other hand the students shouldn't be able to have their phones because it would be a distraction to the students using it and they could be looking up the answer to the test if the teacher didn't see that they had the phone so therefor I say that they should only be able to use their phones for emergencies.
Tanner
10/2/2016 01:48:51 pm
I forgot to add but if they didn't have their phones they could probably get better grades but if they did have their phones then they would probably start not paying attention to the teacher.
Tanner
10/2/2016 02:21:38 pm
Anna I agree with what you said last week about the students being late to class because they were on their phones, but I have to disagree with what you said about them being able to come to class prepared because if they did have their phones then it wouldn't necessarily mean that they wouldn't come to class prepared but everything else I agree with you.
Tanner
10/2/2016 02:29:37 pm
Gavin I do agree with what you said about the teachers wouldn't have to keep telling the students to get off their phones because I think it is a problem with kids being on their phones during class time. I have to say that I didn't like how you only said about one thing for the question, it would be better if you explained more to us.
Tanner
10/2/2016 02:35:01 pm
Evan I agree with what you said about the school gaining more focused students and less distractions at school. I have to slightly disagree with what you said about them not having anymore distractions in school because a lot friends like to distract you and cause you to get less things done in class. Other than that I agree with what you said about them cheating on assignments but it would be pretty obvious if they were cheating because they would have to have their phones in sight of the teachers eyes unless the teacher is blind.

Tanner
10/2/2016 02:41:33 pm
Maddy like I said to all my other responses I agree with what you said about the school benefiting or getting more students to start to focus on grades and get better ones. But I don't think that the students would be able to sit on their phones all day because I don't think there is a teacher that would let a student just be on their phones. I also disagree with what you said about there not being any cyber bullying problems because most cyber bullying happens out of school.
Maddy
10/5/2016 08:44:26 pm
Tanner- I agree and disagree with what you said. It would make it so that the students aren't always just sitting on their phones during lunch and their free time so they are interacting more with other students. I agree with what you said about cyber bulling I do think that some of it happens in school but I agree that a lot of it happens outside of school.
Tanner
10/2/2016 02:48:06 pm
Teagan I agree with what you said about the students being allowed to have their phones during school but not in class because that's what we have here and that's what most other schools have. I also agree with what you said about them learning to be social with the other kids in the school because that made me laugh. I don't disagree with anything you said because everything you said I think was well said.
Tanner
10/2/2016 02:58:32 pm
Anna on my initial response to dq4 you said you disagree with what I said about the students getting yelled at constantly by teachers, I think I pretty well said it because if students were constantly on their cellphones in class they would not get anything done so the teachers would get mad and take their phones away or they would give them bad grades.
Tanner
10/2/2016 03:03:47 pm
Alyssa I forgot to put in that they should be able to have them during lunch because if they don't have anything to do they could play games on it but if they did have their phones in between classes they would be late for class and if they kept asking to use the restroom then you would have to assume that they have their phones and they are just going to play on them.
Alyssa
10/3/2016 07:29:21 pm
Tanner- I disagree. I have my phone between classes to text somebody back if they had a question or something and I am never late to class. Also we aren't allowed to have our phones in the locker room or bathroom so the teachers should be able to see that we are leaving our phone in the classroom when we go to use the bathroom or go to the locker room.
Tanner
10/2/2016 03:12:30 pm
Sydney I think that what I said was pretty right because I think cyber bullying mostly happens outside of school when people have their own time but cyber bullying could happen during school only outside of class because if they were in class the students would probably tell the teacher and the student would be expelled but it would probably happen outside of class like while they are in the halls in between class and the teachers couldn't do anything about it till the student was in the classroom.
Tanner
10/2/2016 03:16:22 pm
Evan I have to disagree with what you said about cyber bullying happening at school because how would you cyber bully at school if you didn't have your phones. I strongly believe that I am right because most cyber bullying would happen outside of school while people have their own time.
Evan
10/5/2016 05:30:29 pm
Tanner, for that example I was saying if their were still phones in school, and if you have your phone out, you see social media, become curious, then end up doing something dumb. Also, what if you took online classes? You would be online all the time, which would be during school.
Jack Lyle
10/3/2016 06:39:06 am
Anna– I agree with everything you said especially when you said “I also think that taking phones away will cause less cyber bullying even thought that after school it could happen. Taking phones away will never take all of those problems away 100%” because like you said (and mine in my response) it will never take all the problems away. Also when you said “Students just need to learn how to use them respectfully” accept I don’t think they need to use them respectfully, just to use them at appropriate times. And I like how you said that phones are like a staple, because it’s so much easier to have them, but we could go through life without them it would just be a lot harder.
mason
10/3/2016 04:12:16 pm
Tanner I disagree with you on what you said on my post last week about cyberbullies happening last week. Because most of the time people will forget what they were going to do later on that day so when most people get cyberbully-ed it happens at school with something they did so they use their phones to get a video on what that person.
Briielle

Mason
10/5/2016 04:24:35 pm
Briielle- a lot of the time some people that want to bully someone on social media will have something else and then they will forget what they will do until they remember or might not ever remember. And that even thought people will spread the news by oral ways or written. But at some point they might end up stretching the truth out of it and making it so ridicules that nobody will belive it.

Kelsey I agree with what you said with kids still get bullied by kid with or without the internet and that some students need to use their phones for communicating with parents. And if they are texting while in class or social media. And they should use them for emergency and other things.
Mason
10/3/2016 04:26:37 pm
Tanner I mostly agree with you on what you posted like if kids weren't on their phone during class they might start getting better grades for most classes but with the fact with cyberbullies on the internet most people will have to use their phone to do what that person had said or done.
Mason
10/3/2016 04:33:28 pm
Anna I agree with what teachers will do with kids that are on cellphones but with kid being late because thou out the school year so far no one I've seen not have their stuff because they were on their phone but more as just not getting it in general.
Mason
10/3/2016 04:38:16 pm
Sydney I agree with what you have to say with students getting more focused with class and their home work. And that students should be able to go on their phone on lunch to maybe contact some one important like a doctor or a parent for emergence and what to do after school.
Mason
10/3/2016 04:43:53 pm
Alyssa I agree with what you have to say with students being more focused with work and that it will help with bully's and maybe prevent social anxiety and that students should have the right to be able to be on their phones during lunch and in between class. And that it should be okay to get their phone taken away.
Alyssa
10/3/2016 07:07:09 pm
Tanner I agree with some of what you said, but I don't agree with how you think students shouldn't be able to have their phones in school. You talked about how they shouldn't have them in class, but you didn't give any reasons why students shouldn't be able to have their phones at lunch and between classes. I think that it is okay to keep phones out of the classroom, but I think students should be able to have their phones during lunch and between classes because it is their own free time.
Alyssa
10/3/2016 07:09:02 pm
Anna, I completely agree with your DQ! I especially like when you talked about how students are late to class because they were on their phones, that was a really good point and a very true statement. I also love how you talked about using our phones respectfully. I also agree with what you said about still being able to have our phones at school, we do use them for a lot of things and not all students are using them in a disrespectful way.
Alyssa
10/3/2016 07:16:01 pm
Maddy - I agree with a lot of what you said, but I disagree with the statement "It can stop cyberbullying." Having no phones at school won't stop cyberbullying. In fact most cyberbullying happens at home or outside of school. Keeping phones out of school may have a few benefits, but I think that there are more downsides than there are upsides.
Maddy
10/5/2016 08:54:59 pm
Alyssa- I have thought about your response a little bit and I have decided that you are correct it wont make cyber bulling go away if they take phones away because a lot of it happens outside of school. I do disagree with the fact that you said that there are more downsides to taking phones away than not. With getting rid of phones you gain more focus from the students and more student interaction.
Alyssa
10/3/2016 07:24:14 pm
Evan- I agree with some of the things you said, but I disagree with the thing about cheating. If a student is taking a test how are they supposed to get out there phone and look up the answers with it being silent in the classroom and the teacher paying attention. Students also couldn't cheat on assignments because it would take time to look up the answer and by then the teacher would see something. I don't think using phones to cheat is a problem at this school, therefore it isn't a reason for phones to be taken away here.
Evan
10/5/2016 05:37:12 pm
Alyssa- Though I don't believe that it is a problem here, it can still be a problem at other schools. They could check their phones when the teacher leaves, or is doing other work like putting in grades while you cheat on your test. For how they would get it out it would be out before the test, hidden away somewhere they could get it unnoticed and quietly.
Alyssa
10/3/2016 07:36:46 pm
Sydney- I agree with what you said, but if we really need to talk to somebody or contact them then we can use the school phone. The school phones allow us to call our parents or whoever we need without using our cellphones. I think phones are more for the students just being able to text somebody without having to go to the office and call somebody. Being able to have our phones is a faster way to contact somebody and can keep us from missing any class time. But I do think that we can use the school phones if we need to rather than our cell phones.
Sydney
10/5/2016 01:48:37 pm
Alyssa I respect your opinion and I have taken it to consideration and have changed my opinion in the DQ. I think you make a really good point where they could just use the schools phone, but what if they do not answer the phone? The students are able to text the person and maybe that will notify them.
Jack Lyle
10/3/2016 10:23:20 pm
Tanner - I agree with what you say on what you said except for when you said that the students shouldn't be able to use them unless if a emergency happens, I think that students should be able to use them whenever they want as long as its not during class unless given permission, and during breaks only for contacting parents or family member, and during lunch they should be able to go on social media, YouTube, or something similar to those.
Jack Lyle
10/3/2016 10:32:30 pm
Mason - I don't think that the school stops cyber bullying, because as soon as the students go home the school cant stop them from using their phones at home. Also I partially agree with what you said about putting the phones in a tube or tub at the beginning of the day, the reason why I partially disagree with you is because most likely the principle will call the police, or the teachers. Everything else I agree with you.
Jack Lyle
10/3/2016 10:40:47 pm
Olivia - I agree with what you said especially when you said that students will be more focused because there have been days that I had homework but I wanted to check Ifunny and forgot about it and then went on YouTube, Crunchy roll, etc. Also when you said that taking the phones away wont take all of the problems away isn't going to solve it, it might help, but it wont solve it.
Jack Lyle
10/3/2016 10:47:14 pm
Kelsey - I agree what you are saying about having students be more focused, but we aren't talking about bullying face to face, we're talking about Cyber bullying which happens over the internet, or an electronic device. I also disagree with what you say about not being able to use them on social media or texting, unless if you mean during class then I agree all the way.
Briielle
10/4/2016 02:12:23 pm
Teagan- I disagree with what you said about how it could help students do more sports and activities. Some kids are just shy and don't necessarily want to do those activities and some just don't have the athleticism required to do sports. A lot of kids aren't always willing to do activities and sports, so its not just a phone stopping them from doing these things.
Teagan
10/4/2016 09:46:02 pm
Briielle I see what your thinking, but what I meant by that was that some kids don't want to do activities like sports because they don't want to socialize. Phones let you get away with not socializing in person because you can communicate over the media instead of socializing in different activities. I didn't mean that it would get all people to join activities. I just meant that that may be the reason in some cases.

10/4/2016 02:43:15 pm
Maddy thank you for agreeing with me last week. I am glad that you agree that students should only be aloud to use their phones to a certain limit. Also that the teachers are able to find out what kind of kids are always on their phones so that they can keep an eye on them, and that the teachers are gaining more attention in class when they discipline students for being on their phone in class.
Jaden
10/4/2016 02:49:23 pm
Anna I agreed with you to about how the teachers gain more productive and focused students when they crack down on the kids that are always on their phones. I also agree that student will be more focused on getting to class on time. Also that they should keep them off until lunch time and to use them responsibly.
Jaden
10/4/2016 02:55:34 pm
Danner- I agree with you on how when they crack down on cellphone use that the school gains more students that are more focused on their work and learning. Also that the students should not be aloud to use their phones in class so that they do not cheat by going on to google or something.
Jaden
10/4/2016 03:00:25 pm
Kelsey- I agree with you on how if teachers take away the students phones that it still will not completely help with bullying because not all of the bullying that happens in on a computer or over texts. It can happen face to face to. So if you take away a students phone it will not completely stop it.
Olivia
10/4/2016 04:32:52 pm
Tanner – I agree with most of what you said, except when you said you disagreed with students being able to have their phones at school. You explained that students would just get yelled at because they wouldn’t stop using their phones. I feel that this point is invalid because students aren’t always on their phones so often to the point that they are being yelled at. A few people’s actions shouldn’t take away the privilege of phone usage for everyone.
Olivia
10/4/2016 04:39:21 pm
Gracie – I agree with almost everything you said, except for when you stated “What the school gain by not allowing phones is that they stopped cyber-bullying” I personally disagree with this statement. I disagree because the school taking away phones will never stop cyber-bullying because cyber-bullying is always happening, even outside of school.
Gracie
10/6/2016 07:23:11 pm
Olivia that is true I did think about that after I posted it. But how is the school going to stop it from happening outside of school, at least they stopped it from happening during school hours.
Olivia
10/6/2016 07:36:56 pm
Gracie – The school doesn’t have to stop cyber bullying outside of school if it isn’t happening at school. But you’re right, they might stop cyber bullying during school hours if they take phones away, you never know.
Olivia
10/4/2016 04:47:12 pm
Evan – I agreed with most of your response, except when you said that you don’t think students should be able to use their phones at school. I can understand why you don’t think you need them, you wouldn’t know what it is like to have one to use at school! But when you do have a phone, it is really useful for when you need to contact people, look up information on the Internet, use the calculator (if you don’t already have one), etc.
Evan
10/5/2016 05:42:24 pm
Olivia- Why would you need to contact somebody during school? If you really needed to you would be able to use the teachers phone or the offices' phone. We have computers to look up information on the internet, not to mention that computers are easier to supervise since you can't move them, and the school provides, or at least has, calculators that you could use.
Olivia
10/6/2016 07:21:00 pm
Evan –Whenever I need to talk to someone about something, it is less of a hassle to send a text between classes instead of having to go to the office or use the teachers phone during class time. When all of the computers are full, you have Internet to use right at your fingertips. For the calculators, if you have one on your phone and the teacher will allow you to use it, its mostly just convenient. Phones at school aren’t a must have, but they are really convenient at times.
Teagan
10/4/2016 09:47:18 pm
Alyssa, I agree with you on how you said that kids should be able to use their phones during free time like between classes and at lunch. Even though it may take their concentration off of their friends, or make them lose socialization skills, it is their choice and they can use free time for whatever they want.
Teagan
10/4/2016 09:48:35 pm
Brooke, I agree on how getting rid of phones could help students focus in classes. Also how it takes away one of their resources to cheat with. They may also cheat off of friends but it helps eliminate cheating partially. I like your explanation.
Teagan
10/4/2016 09:50:03 pm
Gracie, I disagree that banning phones would stop cyber bullying. Like Briielle said there isn’t a lot of cyberbullying that actually happens at school. Most of it happens outside of school. So banning phones from the school wouldn’t get rid of cyberbullying completely, it would just get rid of barely any cyber bullying.
Gracie
10/6/2016 07:26:26 pm
Teagan I know that it wont stop it from happening all the way, but it could stop it from happening when they are on their phones at school during lunch, Also, in big schools there is a more of a chance that it does happen during school hours.
Teagan
10/4/2016 09:51:12 pm
Jaden, I disagree with you on your statement where you said that if teachers new what kinds of kids would be on their phone it would help them keep an eye on them. There isn’t one specific kind of kid that plays on their phone. Any kid that has a phone could be on their phones at any time. Even if they are the most trustworthy kid in the school they could still be on their phone.
Jaden
10/5/2016 01:48:50 pm
It is not true that there isn't one kind of kid that is always on their phone. I believe there is because there is always a kind of kid that wouldn't mind disrespecting the teacher and getting on their phone in class and cheating on a test or something. Then there are the students that are trustworthy and will keep their phone shut off and respect the teacher by not getting on it and doing something they weren't supposed to do.
Teagan
10/4/2016 09:52:30 pm
Briielle, I agree with your explanation of kids only being able to use their phones for educational purposes. You also helped me understand about the cyber bullying problems that could happen and how kids wouldn’t be doing it at school because they want to avoid the person they are bullying. I never really thought of it that way. Now I realize that cyber bullying isn’t really a problem at school because it mostly happens outside of school.
Briielle
10/5/2016 01:48:37 pm
Teagan, it's good to know that you understood a bit of my point of view. You made some really good points too and helped me understand a bit of your point of view as well. Thank you.
Danner
10/4/2016 10:15:18 pm
Alyssa, I agree with all of your statements. I also wrote about phones not being used during school but having it be ok to use phones during free time. Free times could be lunch and before or after school. You are right that it is not going to stop cyber-bullying but it will help prevent it during the school day. Students will be more focused with out phones in the classroom.
Danner
10/4/2016 10:19:06 pm
Tanner - I agree with what you say about cyber-bullying mainly happening outside of school. However, teachers need to do what they can during school hours to control cyber-bullying and I feel that would best be done if kids are not on their phones. I disagree with your comment about taking phones away as a punishment not working. I think students depend on phones too much and them not having it will upset them. This would be a good punishment. I agree with you though that grades will improve.
Danner
10/4/2016 10:21:42 pm
Sydney, I agree with what you said and feel it is true that students will focus better and get more work done without phones. I also like the idea you had that parents should be contacted. Most of the time, parents are the ones who pay for the phone and they would want to know how it is being used. I did not think of this until you wrote it up.
Danner
10/4/2016 10:23:57 pm
Anna, I agree with what you said completely. I agree with what you said about students coming late to class and forgetting their stuff because they are on their phones. Some kids do use them disrespectfully but many are using them correctly. I feel that the students that use them correctly should not be punished for the ones who do not.
Danner
10/4/2016 10:29:36 pm
Maddy, I agree with most of your DQ. I agree that it makes students more focused in school and that more kids will be interacting with each other more face to face. I also agree that we should not be banned from phones because most of us are talking and having fun on them during lunch and not over using them. I am not sure that it will stop cyber- bullying though. I think it can help but not stop it. Not all schools are like ours, where everyone knows each other and gets along.
Jack Lyle
10/4/2016 10:48:30 pm
Sydney - I agree with what you say in your DQ, especially when you said that students will be more focused during school, and when you said that students should be allowed on their phones during lunch so that students can contact their parents/ legal guardians. Also when you said that they should be allowed for class activites.
Jack Lyle
10/4/2016 10:53:53 pm
Brooke - I agree with most of what you said I don't agree when you said that taking the phones away takes their one source to cyberbully, or to cheat on any work, I agree with the cyberbully (or at least during school) but they can still cheat on note cards, or pieces of paper, or even other people that are sitting next to them.
Brooke
10/6/2016 03:03:24 pm
Jack- I know what I said, and I agree with you but my statement was to clarify that, this is one way to take away the way they cheat. I didn't necessarily mean that was the only way.That wasn't the only point of me saying it, it was to state that that would help prevent the problem form getting worse. Thank you for pointing that out though.

Evan- I disagree with you about how cellphones shouldn't be aloud at school. I think that they should be aloud but the students need to have their cellphones off and in their backpack or locker during class. I also think that they should be able to use them if the teacher allows it or in between classes and during lunch time.

Jaden- What I said in DQ#4 was "they should be available for them before and after school." That means that it would be at school, but not accessible during school hours. If they were out between classes and lunch time, you could get distracted, or cyberbully. Again I don't believe that that is a problem at our school, but it could happen.

Olivia- I agree with you on how students should be aloud to use their phones and in between classes and during lunch. I agree with how you said that when the students are using them during free time that they are okay because they aren't disturbing any classes. Also that they should be aloud in class because sometimes it is helpful when the teacher says that they could use them when they need to look something up.

Briielle- Even though it's not always the phone, and most of the time it's an app, it still is on your phone, which holds the distraction. Although calculator and science apps do help, you could do that on a computer where teachers could more easily know what you are doing. For cheating on our phones, I'm sure that none of us have ever though about doing it, and your right that you can't always trust what's on the internet, but students could still use it to cheat, because there is some accurate information on the internet.

I can definitely see what you are trying to explain. It's hard for me to say that I 100% agree with what you said. I agree with you and yet I don't. You are right, the app is on the phone and it can distract, but I believe that, as the school had done with the earlier wifi, the school could block certain apps to insure that at least some of this could stop.

Jaden- I agree with your DQ, but what did you mean by they will gain respect? Did you mean the school will gain respect, or did you mean the teachers will gain respect? I did not understand the wording. Other than that I think your DQ is good.

Okay so I ment that both the school and the teachers will gain respect and attention. The teachers will gain the respect because the more students that are not on their phone will pay attention and they are respecting the rules for the teacher that the teacher doesn't want them on their phones in class. The school gains the respect too because not being able to be on your phone in class is probably one of the schools rules also.

Danner- I agree with your DQ completely. I like how you said they should come up with more punishments if they have their phone out. I also like how you said it could stop the cyber-bullying that is happening there, and that it could focus more of the students on their work instead of their phones.

Maddy- I agree with your DQ. I love how you brought up the school interaction with students and how a majority of them are involved with school activities. I also agree on how you said it will help not tempt them to be on them during class, also it will help them not be on it as much.
Sydney
10/5/2016 02:05:47 pm
Olivia- I love your DQ! I agree how you said we should be able to use our phones during our free time if it is not for bullying. It is a time where we are able to play on our phones. I also like how you said that we should be able to use our phone during class with the permission of the teachers and only are using it for good things.
Sydney

Tanner- I agree with some of your DQ like i said before, but I disagree with how you said that teachers can not make a difference with cyber-bullying. I think that if teachers take some actions at school with it, it will stop it from happening there and that will prevent some of it. At least they are trying.

By cracking down on using cell phones at school, the students focus more, or so they would assume. Coming from one the students, I cannot focus without my cell phone. If I don’t have it with me I’m constantly focusing on where it is and continue to wonder if I have any messages. Honestly I think that us students should have our phones. I think this because if you have data and like the computers go down than you can still do research with them and get stuff done. Also, in my eyes I feel safer with my cell phone on me because it makes me feel more secure. I think this because what if I don’t have my phone at lunch or something and I leave campus to get lunch from home or the store and I get hurt and have nobody to help me because there is nobody around and I don’t have my phone to call someone help me. This is why I believe we should be able to at least have our phones at school. Plus what if at lunch you are doing some math homework or something and you left your calculator at home. With your phone you can use a calculator no matter how old it is.

Sydney, I totally agree with you. I like how you state that we should be able to use our phones at lunch. Its our free time so we should be able to freely use them. I also like how you said that we should get to use our phones in school activities, but if it gets to out of control then we should only use it for lunch!
Heidi

Olivia- I agree with you all the way. I like how you said that we should be able to use our phones during lunch and in between classes. I also agree with you when you said that the use of phones can be very helpful at school. Lastly I like how you said that its not okay that people are using their phones to bully other people.

Maddy- I love your DQ! I liked how you stated the interaction between the students and the school, when you walk into our school kids aren't just looking at their phones, their actually communicating with each other! I also liked how you said that we are not tempted because we should be working on our school work instead of our phones.

Danner- I agree with your DQ! I like how you said that it could stop cyber bullying. I also liked what you said about punishing the students. The students who are on their phones during class and their not supposed to then they definitly deserve a punishment. Lastly I also liked how you stated that having your phone out in class can also distract others who are trying to work.

Olivia- I completely agree with your DQ. I like how you said that you think that they are gaining more focus from the students but I also agree with what you said about how you think that kids should be able to use them in their free time but I also think that they should interact more with other students and not just on their phones.
Olivia
10/6/2016 07:46:33 pm
Maddy - I see your point about how you think kids should interact more with their peers instead of always being on their phone. I will say I text a lot during my free time, but I am usually always texting the people who I don't see at school everyday. But other than that, I would say that I am pretty social at school. Its all about balance!

Olivia- I agree with your response. I like how you said that it is ok to use them as long as your teacher allows you to, but if you use it disrespectfully, they are a problem that needs to be dealt with. Overall that was a great response, and I agree with it.
Evan

Kelsey- I do not completely agree with your response. What I do agree with is they are a great way to keep in touch with family and friends that don't live near, but what I don't agree with is why you would need to do that while at school. It just doesn't make sense to me why you would need to communicate with friends from far away during school.
Evan
10/6/2016 06:02:23 pm
Anna- That was a well written response, and I completely agree with it! Especially when you said that students need to know or learn how to use phones respectfully by not having them in class, keeping them off until lunch, not cheating with it, and not cyber bullying on it. Completely agree with your response!
Evan
10/6/2016 06:06:41 pm
Sydney- I agree with your response. Mainly how it should be limited to only lunch and maybe between classes. Also how you said it gets out of hand, just to limit it to only during your free time, which would be pretty much just lunch.
Evan
10/6/2016 06:11:06 pm
Brooke- I agree with your response. I like how you said it is one less thing for teacher to worry about, and that the should only mainly be used during your free time, or lunch. Also that there should be punishments after misusage of phones, or breaking the rules involving phones.
Olivia

Teagan – I do agree with your response, but at the same time I don’t. Some kids really don’t socialize with others because they are always on their phone. But there are also kids who are very social, but they are just on their phone because they are talking to people who aren’t at school. That’s what I do a lot of times. I still talk to people all the time at school but I am usually talking to my siblings or my friends who don’t go to our school over text.
Gracie

Tanner I agree with what you said, but the one ting I don't get is when you said that they will pay more attention on the teacher, because people don't really have phones out when the teacher is talking. They don't really have them out when they are doing there work its when they are all done with the work then they get there phones out. Well its probably different at that school.
Olivia

Mason – I agree with your response. I enjoyed how you used a lot of examples. I really agreed with you when you talked about students needing their phones incase a parent needs to get ahold of them. I have been in this situation and found it to be less of a hassle to just be able to text my parents instead of having to call from the office or use the teachers phone.
Danner

Tanner- On DQ #4, you disagreed with my statement that students could cheat by googling answers. I understand you think it would be impossible to cheat with your phone but I think students could be tricky and find a way to do it. They could take a hall pass and go to their lockers. I would never do this but some people might.

Briielle, on DQ number 4 you agreed about the teachers and about that they can get one warning and then there are no phones but there should at least one so the kids could have a chance.

The school gains students getting the assigned work done and focusing on their work instead of their phones. I think that the students should get the right to use their phones at least at lunch because that is their free time break. They might also need to communicate with a parent or someone else. I think that it’s fair to let students use it during class if they needed to look something up or it could help with some project, but let the teacher decide if we could use it in their classroom. If it becomes a problem, then we should limit it to lunch break and between classes.
