@andrew_moraga what do you think about the cellphone in classroom ban for this upcoming school year? Do you think it will be beneficial for the future generation, or do you think it is "too little too late" to reverse now?

Did my course selection for my post-grad at Conestoga College next year - Human Resources! The thing I will miss most about Laurier is my ringette team! It just won't be the same not having my team with me! @WLUAthletics @LaurierRingette !!

Cellphone and no cellphone designated zones in classrooms! With the elimination of cellphones in the classroom and use at designated times only, kids will be more engaged in their studies!

The use of technology in the classroom is on the rise and it will only continue to unless we intervene. There are many reasons why we should eliminate the use of tech in schools and this article does an excellent job of highlighting them. https://t.co/O5QL2gSbdp

Interesting read about the impact of cellphone use in the classroom! It will be interesting to see how the use of cellphones will have an impact on future generations in the classroom! #EM203Mueller

The Ontario government has said they will be banning cellphones in classrooms starting next year. Here is the effect experts say smartphones are having on younger generations: https://t.co/S6imRFLv3x

@EM203Adrian @jmuellerprof @EM203MStarr Such a good point Adrian! I find that a lot of my peers use social media solely to post selfies, but it is very interesting to see the other side of it and how useful it can be as an educational tool!

@EM203ZHijazi Great point Zack! It is very interesting to see how everyone is so different, yet we all share one common goal! I like to see everyone's way of doing things and comparing them to my own! Great use of that Gif also!

@EM203DVyriotes That's very interesting Dina! I wish I could listen to music while I study or attempt to focus, very jealous of your ability to multitask like that! I found that listening to music greatly inhibited my ability to remember the words!

[Riley Blackmore @em203blackmore]

I did not realize the impact that listening to music or texting have on my memory retention! I thought background noise was beneficial for my studying and attempting to memorize theories, now I know for next exam season to cut out the music! #EM203Mueller #Week3Multitasking

I assumed I was remembering the words from list A when reading them while texting a friend, little did I know, I could only remember a few when it came down to it! List B was much easier with no distractions! (1/2) #EM203Mueller #Week3Multitasking
