The Black Berries

The Black Berries in class

Theme: I think students should be allowed to use their black berries in class.

The new technology helps us to get information in an easy way. You only make a click and you can talk with a friend that is hundreds of kilometers away.  At the same time, if you need any information you could have it in an easy and fast way, although sometimes we don’t know how to use it in a right way. For example, black berries are really useful for people that work, but for teenagers and young adults is more a distraction than a benefit, because we only use them to chat with friends.  On the other hand, they can be used to find information and it depends on the person if it will be a distraction in class or not. That’s why I think that the decision of letting the students to have or not the black berries  in class will depend much more on the person that has it, that on the teacher. Really, at the end the one that is not paying attention is the student and he is going to be the one that does not learn. So let it be.
