In March, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio ended a decade-long citywide ban on cellphones in public schools and left them to make up their own rules because he argued that by denying access for some students, the city was exacerbating(使加重) the achievement gap in students’ performance.
Two researchers from the London School of Economics, Richard Murphy and Louis-Philippe Beland argued that this might have the opposite effect because students are not generally using their phones to assist in their classroom work during school. "Schools could significantly reduce the education achievement gap by prohibiting cellphone use in schools, and so by allowing phones in schools, New York may unintentionally increase the inequalities of outcomes," they told CNN.
However, some educators have come to embrace the technology in their students’ pockets. Teacher Ken Halla has been teaching world history and Advanced Placement for 22 years but his students’ cellphone ownership forced him to adapt to his classroom dynamics where he no longer is the single authority lecturing, according to the National Education Association (NEA). He now roams(漫步) the classroom and encourages students to use their cellphones to help them complete their assignments, this way they are less likely to let their devices distract themselves.
"It’s harder to do negative behavior when the phones are out and the teacher is walking around," Mr. Halla told the NEA. "I’ve always been that type of person who likes to adapt and change as time goes on. Otherwise, I wouldn’t still be teaching many years down the road."
