LaMaster, Jen. & Stager, Gary S., (2012, February). Point/counterpoint: Should students use their own devices in the classroom?. 39(5), 6-7. Retrieved from http://www.iste.org/learn/publications/learning-and-leading/issues/Point_Counterpoint_Should_Students_Use_Their_Own_Devices_in_the_Classroom.aspx
In this article we have Jen and Gary who are both not seeing eye to eye in the situation of students bringing their own devices to school. Jen argues that many times there are not enough devices for students at the school and if student brought their own device it would give the chance for all students to get a device when the entire class needs to use them. This is a good idea for the fact that many schools do not have enough funds to get the entire school updated with devices and the technology that our world offers us today. They can only provide with few and so if students brought in theres from home then they would be able to participate in class and follow along with the instructor and class. Gary argues that bringing in their own devices is not a good idea for the fact that it would create an issue in inequality for many students. Many times these devices can not be provided at home in which creates and issue at schools within the students. This could create an issue in which students are viewed as different from one another in which should be provented at all schools.
Q. What are the pros?
A. the pros of the students bringing the devices is that they are providing themselves with meeting the needs that is expected of them to use in school. It is not their fault that the school cannot provide them with all of the proper things that they need so that they can learn. They are expected to share but at times it is hard to share and if they were able to bring in their own devices then it would be a plus for many students.
Q. What are the Cons?
A. The reason why there are cons is because many students family cant afford these devices that they are expected to learn how to work on. It would create issues in which many will be viewed as different and possible bullying could eventually happen. This could damage many students and this should be provented becasue all students need to be treated the same. I also feel that this would create a distraction in which their devices would not have restrictions like other devices that the schools provide.
