The educational environment is supposed to be about students learning and teachers teaching and teachers can't teach over a cell phone. If a student is busy on the cell phone they aren't learning.
What is a cell phone signal blocker?
When you use a cell phone blocker, also known as a cell phone jammer, the signals transmitted by the cell phone actually collide with the signals transmitted by the phone jammer. When the two signals collide, the following occurs…
- The phone signals are essentially cancelled out
- The link between the cellular base station and cellular handset is disconnected
- The cell phone user is unable to make or receive phone calls
Should we use the cell phone signal blocker at school?
Should the problem that students using mobile phones for cheating should be concerned about? Surely we should be engaging our kids with the technologies that they use outside of school as opposed to “switching them off” at the school gate. Isn’t it better to teach our students the correct usage of the technology – cellphones, etc.
