    Cellphones and laptops can be distracting for students in classrooms—and new research also shows that using electronic devices can even lower students’ grades. https://abcn.ws/2OmAsLP pic.twitter.com/1nSegeTb1G

        Hey ABC, I have a suggestion: put out a story about how Assistive Technology (including cellphones and laptops) helps students with disabilities in the classroom.

        I never allowed them in my classroom. Kids would try to play games on ipads and would try to cheat on tests will cell phones. We had a grand time learning without the distraction.

        STMS/STHS in Center City Phila is an Apple based IPad school. Some kids do amazing & some kids do good but others it is too much of a distraction. No penmanship is taught or practiced bc everything is done on the IPad. No signature is taught only printing from grade school.

        @WeAreCTA @cta Then all those computers and laptops in the classroom with GoogleClass, @khanacademy , are not helping with subject retention and grades. Are there any other studies showing the effects of using technology in the classroom advances students in their progression

        And yet institutes still provide such services because it's fast and effective and makes them more money. What else is new?

        Why have taken all this long to find out? Sooner you could have declared it a Human Right to own such gadgets.
