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

---

@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.

@RAHEELSAHITO There are several reasons why a teacher should avoid using a mobile phone during class:

1. Distraction: Teachers using mobile phones can distract students. If students see their teacher engaging with their phone, they may feel that it is acceptable for them to do the same, leading to reduced focus on the lesson.

2. Authority and Respect: Teachers are seen as role models. Constantly checking a phone can undermine their authority and respect in the classroom. It may signal that the teacher is not fully present or engaged with the students.

3. Engagement: The presence of a mobile phone can hinder the teacher's ability to engage with students effectively. It can create a barrier to communication and responsiveness, which are crucial for effective teaching.

4. Modeling Behavior: Teachers set the tone for classroom behavior. By not using a mobile phone, they can model appropriate focus and engagement, encouraging students to do the same.

5. Interruption: Notifications and calls can interrupt the flow of the lesson, causing disruptions that can detract from the teaching and learning experience.

6. Professionalism: Maintaining a professional demeanor is important for educators. Using a mobile phone can be perceived as unprofessional, especially during instructional time.

7. Equity: Some students may not have access to mobile devices, and seeing a teacher frequently using one could create feelings of inequality or exclusion in the classroom environment.

8. Content Delivery: Teaching often requires being fully engaged with lesson materials and students. Mobile phone use can divert attention away from the content being delivered.

Overall, it's important for teachers to be fully present and engaged during class to foster an effective learning environment. If a mobile phone is necessary for teaching purposes, it can be beneficial to set clear boundaries around its use to minimize distractions and maintain professionalism.
