Claim: Cell phones should be allowed in schools because banning them is no longer universally accepted as the best policy. Reason: Cell phones today are essentially small computers, and having access to them can enhance, not inhibit, the learning experience. Which statements could be used as evidence for the claim and reason? Check all that apply. Students can access discussion boards, forums, and other educational online communities inside and outside the classroom. Many educators agree that handheld devices empower students to seek out answers. Ming’s school allows students to use their cell phones, so I don’t see why we can’t. Not everyone has access to cell phones and handheld electronics, so using them is unfair. More people own and use cell phones today than in previous generations.
