I pod
I am trying to tell the teachers to let us the students use our I pod in class. There are reasons why I think it is a good and bad idea. One reason is that it helps student concentrated and work. One bad reason is that it could be stolen. The last bad reason is that the student won’t pay attention.
One good reason is that it helps students concentrate. By putting the song that they like so they can work better by not hearing everyone else that is around them talking. I interviewed Jonathan Gabriola he said ‘it helps me concentrate, to improve my academic scores’. If someone needs to study they just put there I pod on and the will hear their music and feel like they are by themselves. I surveyed four people if teachers should let students use their I pod in class and all four of them said yes that they should let students use their I pods in class.
One bad reason is that students won’t pay attention. I interviewed Mr. Gloyd and he said ‘student’s abuse the privilege of their I pods. And I am afraid of being responsible if they get stolen.’ If there is something big and the student is not paying attention with their I pod. They will get it taken from them from there teacher.
Another bad reason for using I pods in class is that they are easy to get stolen. People can see a cord coming out of your t shirt. If you play your music loud you mite be a target for people if they want to jack an I pod from some one because they can hear your music.
That is why teachers should let student use their I pods in class. their I pod will help them concentrate more and improve their academic scores. A bad side to this idea is that students won’t pay attention. Also that students mite have their I pods stolen from them by some one
