Educational Functionalities of your Cell Phone

By Alex Jale


Due to the possible distractions that can occur with the use of mobile phone, they were restricted to be used in some sections. One of the place of restriction was the classroom. It was directed specially towards the high school classrooms. Some saw it as an infringement on the rights of the users and students. But others saw it as laws that must be implemented to save our nation from future academic chaos. Being conventional in nature, you cannot select sides on this issue. It can only be considered in terms of the situation involved.

People of the restriction argument are truthful on their own as the olden day set of phones were not good for the students, but today's smart phones which is a minimized computer can really help you succeed in school. Applications like mathematic alarm clock can be used on Smartphones to help the students with subjects like Mathematics. Another suitable features installed on this phone to help the students out would be the schedule plan and lesson plan. They GPS powered map and location finder is really good and helps students of geography a great deal. To understand this we can quote an example. Mr. Lion was my lecture in the 2nd year of my philosophical studies in the University. Due to overcrowding of class, we faced a lot of problems. Hence we were all assigned specific seats in the class.

This seat arrangement must be respected. We all did stick to this. But I faced a lot of problem as the teacher was not audible to me in the place where I sat. I tried getting the gist of the lecture from other students but it turned out to be very inconvenient and messed up. The note and articles normally come after two weeks. The notes also were not so informative and it hampered my learning in a very great way.

I started saving money from the food allowance I used to get and I bought myself a Smartphone. This smart phone has a capacity to record voice with perfect clarity for more than 3 hours. My friend used to sit in the first place in the front. What I always do is to switch my phone recorder on, cover it well with cell phone cases and cell phone covers, and put it in her handbag. Whether you get it from Sanyo accessories or Sony Ericsson accessories, you will find a perfect case for your device. When I used to go back home, I used to pay the lecture for myself. You would find it hard to believe that I excelled in this subject with the recorded lectures. But this is very much true. I got so informed through the recordings and can play them any number of times I can. You can also get benefits from it. Just make sure you cover your phone with a phone case or phone cover for protection before giving it out.

Another thing that helped me at school was the second mathematical function that I used while performing mathematical calculations. The attention tracker reduces the use of paper work. Language teacher is another application that you may find useful for yourself. This is very awesome. It can help you with the learning of some other languages. Though you may not be perfect with them, but you will get familiar with these languages for sure. Students can make use of it to enhance their linguistic skills.
