The cell phone is present in every single public school classroom today--whether welcome or not. Teachers today should stop trying to fight against the hidden cell phone and instead focus on how the cell phone can be used as an educational tool to help students learn. Both the iTunes store and Google Play are filled with apps that are educational in nature, free to download, and fun to use. Even twitter can keep a discussion going for hours after the face-to-face discussion has ended. Which is the best concluding sentence for this paragraph? A) Teachers should make their cell phone enemy into an ally to help make their classrooms come to life. B) Technology today can do so many amazing things and so many of them are useful for educational purposes. C) On the other hand, cell phones are also extremely distracting and probably are best left outside of the classroom. D) Another item of technology that teachers should not be afraid to use in their classrooms are computer tablets and laptop carts.

Answer:

On other hand, cell phones are also extremely distracting and probably are best left outside of classroom.

Step-by-step explanation:

To explain the growth of Technology today, especially among the young generation is simply vast. A 10 year old is given the phone to keep the child from whining the busy parent, and by the age 13, every kid carries an phone. In such cases, the use of cell phones by young children are assumed to be left alone as a remedy. Which is not the right thing to do, because classroom is the only place where students get to have a proper connection with one another without the use of a gadget.

Educomp and other facilities which are already enough educational tools, the allowance of use of cell phones in class even for the good purpose is a freedom for an individual to face more danger in life and also not know the value of it. After all, knowledge is not the only key to success.

On other hand, cell phones are also extremely distracting and probably are best left outside of classroom.
