The responsible use of mobile phones in schools Part 3

As we conclude our thoughts on this hot topic at the moment we can see how it is fast becoming a problem in schools, leading to calls for something to be done about it.

This modern technology is very appealing to the young people of today and it is fairly easy to abuse its use. People can turn this technology into an instrument for bullying, harassment and embarrassment towards fellow pupils and teachers.

The education authorities also need to consider the theft of these devices, as well as the use of images to count as evidence in disciplinary matters. Cheating is another issue to address, as technology can be used to photograph exam papers and look answers up using the internet facility on the mobile phone.

Hopefully soon the authorities will take note and address school policies on ICT, behaviour and bullying in the near future.
