Technology isn't just used for researching in the classrooms or during classtime. Students are living in a world where cyberbullying is a growning trend amoung all aged children, many children have been on the news either telling their story of how they got the bullying to stop or they have taken their own lives, so their families reach out to society to help stop this horrible act from continuing.
Although teachers want to incorperate technology in the classrooms, yes they say no cell phones, but students always try to get away with having them; therefore having the cell phones is how they are using the technology during school hours to continue this horrible act and not even on the internet at that point it could be through text messages. In this article it states 20-35% of children and adolescents report experiencing cyberbullying as either the bully or the victim and in some cases, its both. Cyberbullying is different from traditional bullying because with it coming from technology the victim can not possibly get away from the person or people bullying him/her.
I believe that if we stick technology in the classroom make sure the school districts have blocked the sites where students could possibly bully one another and we've got to inforce the no cell phones during school more, because that's also an issue with the bullying.
