Why a teacher should not use mobile phone in a class?

---

using mobile phones during class can cause distraction and students will suffer due to less a of attention and focus of a tecaher

@RAHEELSAHITO there can be many reasons that mobile shouldn't be used here I discuss some. It can lead to distractions, disrupt the teaching process, and appear unprofessional. Even if kept on silent, misuse can occur, such as checking personal messages or calls, which can undermine classroom management and student focus.
For optimal effectiveness and professionalism, it’s best to use mobile phones only for planned educational purposes and with clear boundaries.

Asalamo-alaiqum Brother
Mobile phones are powerful tools that offer both significant advantages and potential drawbacks, especially in a classroom setting. They provide easy access to information, enable efficient communication, and offer educational apps that can enhance learning experiences. However, they also pose challenges, such as potential distractions, reduced attention, and possible disruptions.

To maximize the benefits of mobile phones while minimizing the downsides, it's essential to use them mindfully and purposefully. Teachers and students alike should strive to harness the educational potential of mobile technology, while also being aware of and mitigating its potential to detract from focus and engagement.

@RAHEELSAHITO A teacher shouldn't use mobile phone for personal use but sometimes it becomes our need to teach through mobile phone where there is no any
other facility.

@RAHEELSAHITO unfortunately i am posted at the High school thats in the small city but there is too much network issue and many other facilities are not available there.its very far away from my home.I usually charge and download the videos from my home and after lecture I show them videos to understand more clearly.mostly i prefer to relate the things with their lives and make them to think about the things or the given topic.

@RAHEELSAHITO ..i agreed..we should use mobile not everytime but sometimes whenever we need it. If we haven't other resources then we use mobile phones for teaching & clarify our topics or give our students concepts by showing them other examples relate to their daily lives .

@Shazia-Baloch : While occasional use is acceptable for study purposes, relying on it habitually is not recommended.

@RAHEELSAHITO
And why should the teacher use the phone during the lesson? I try not to answer calls even during class. Each teacher should approach his work responsibly, because our profession contributes to the development of the student's psyche. We must be an example to our students.
I use it only when I want to show students pictures related to the lesson or when we need to create the environment with beautiful music to draw better and of course when we play intellectual games, quizzes. In other cases, the use of a mobile phone is excluded.

@RAHEELSAHITO Good topic for discussion. In my opinion , teacher must avoid use of Smartphone for personal use in the classroom but it is beneficial for students better learning process . Smartphones have come a long way from being seen as distractions in the classroom to being recognized as potent educational tools. As teaching aids, they offer multiple benefits, including improved learning outcomes, increased student engagement, and an easier way to connect with students.

@RAHEELSAHITO That's major issue. Appreciated work.

@Komal-Vinod ..exactly dear .we can use mobile phones not all the time in the classroom but whenever we need to make our teaching more interesting we use it for students by showing them some activities or videos relate to our topic.

@RASHEED-ULLAH...Exactly sir ..i also use mobile in my class by showing my students videos related to my topics & i feel my students are getting much interest rather than lectures only....

@Engr-Zeeshan ...exactly Sir ! I completely agree with you . I also use my mobile while I teach my topics. I show them some activities or videos related to my topics. I feel that my students are getting more interest & also try to involve in that environment .They easily understand the topics Alhamdulillah.

@AFSHA28f0a2936e...Yes off course! You have caught my point

@Aqsa-Khatri Aslam o Alaikum dear,

Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s fantastic to hear how effectively you’re using your mobile phone to make lessons more engaging and interactive. It’s impressive that your students are responding positively and understanding the topics better. Keep up the great work!

Best regards,

@Ani-Bareghamyan I completely agree with you dear colleague.

@RAHEELSAHITO respected sir we cant deny from your thoughts every time usage of mobile is not good but there are many positive benefits and on the other hand as we see that mostly we all have mobile phones instead of laptops and other tools so we have no any other option so we can use it as needed any time.your information is highly appreciated sir thanks for informative post.

@Sehar-Kazi
We have observed that many teachers use their mobile phones to teach students, but they often don't study or prepare lessons at home. Instead, they frequently receive calls and talk during class time, and then leave once the period ends.

@Engr-Zeeshan..Tysm sir for appreciation .keep encouraging & appreciating us by your kind & motivated words.

@RAHEELSAHITO Yes, you are right Sir. There are pros and cons of everything.
