BRINGING OF TABLETS AND GADGETS IN SCHOOL PREMISES: BANNED IN CLASSROOM BECAUSE OF ITS NEGATIVE IMPACT ON STUDENTS


          Life in today's modern era becomes easier due to the technology. In that "one click" they say, your problem can be solved. As time passes by, the technology continues to improve and grow. Technology helps us in our daily lives. It seems that we cannot live without the presence of technology.

          One of those behind in the field of technology are tablets and gadgets. This is our main instrument to communicate with other people no matter how far the distance is. The tablets and gadgets are also used to gather information through the use of internet. You will not get tired of seeking information from the books in the library because the internet will handle it. In just a click, there will be answers for your problems.

          Indeed, the role of technology in everyone’s life is immeasurable. But slowly we do not notice that we are being enslaved by the negative impact of technology especially to students.

          Should students bring tablets and gadgets to school? For me, no. Because of this, it initiates the laziness of the students. Instead of being and focused and concentrated, their attention was diverted to something else. Such as the Social Networking Sites that really caught the interest of every teenagers, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube and others. It is alarming because it is also used in such evil deeds just like pornography.

          According to the Department of Education (DepEd) it is strictly forbidden within the classroom to bring and use cellular phone to students. It is reminded by the DepEd assistant secretary Teresita Inciong about the DepEd Order No. 83 issued in 2003, against the bringing of cell phones to school. Said to the report, it was issued by the law because of the complaints interfering the use cellphones within the classroom.

          Among the negative effects of youth addiction and excessive used of technology, it negatively impacts us especially in our bodies. The youth learns to use acronyms that are not suitable for students because he/she can carry it on his studies. It also hindered other students in their future. Consequently, they can’t focus on their studies.

          The statement of Department of Education Secretary Alberto Romulo, said it was supported by the DepEd House Bills 4246 Rodriguez that is in favor to ban cellphones on school premises so that it can’t be applied to any fraud and misbehavior just like sending a bomb threat causing to schools for early dismissal.


          There is no good effect in bringing gadgets in school. It will only bring unacceptable impact on our studies. We are not aware of what it can affect in our minds. Be careful. We should learn to prioritize our studies first to achieve progress and success in life. Think of the brighter future waiting for us, so bear in mind, study harder.
