The use of phones in the classroom is a controversial topic that
receives a variety of reactions and can have political
ramifications. In various school districts across different states,
as well as in some countries, cell phone usage has been banned in
the classroom to combat what administrators say is a distracted
student population. However, research demonstrates that cell phones
can have a positive effect on learning and engagement. Instead of
banning cell phones, some teachers have found ways to incorporate
educational apps, gaming apps, and social media into course
materials. Although much research has emerged involving the
integration of technology and digital literacies in English
language arts (ELA) classrooms, mobile phone use as a discrete
construct has not been explored widely. Affordances and Constraints
of Mobile Phone Use in English Language Arts Classrooms aims to
shine a light on the controversial topic of mobile phones in the
English language arts classroom, focusing on comparing the
opportunities that they afford students, as well as the negative
effects they can have on learning. The chapters within this book
examine learning outcomes, best practices, and practical
applications for using mobile phones in ELA and adds to the body of
literature on mobile phone use in secondary classrooms in general,
standing as a unique resource on mobile phones in the language arts
curriculum. While highlighting topics that include gaming
applications, online learning, student engagement, and classroom
management, this book is ideally designed for inservice and
preservice teachers, administrators, teacher educators,
practitioners, stakeholders, researchers, academicians, and
students who are interested in learning more about the pluses and
minuses of mobile phone use in ELA.
