CELL PHONES FOR KIDSOVER 5.
BY: MATTHEW LIA
Imagine this… you leave your son in the car to go into the grocerystore. Then a guy steals your car and your son is still in the backseat. So, your son has to figure out your password to call thepolice. Unfortunately, he could not get into the phone. If he hadhis own phone he could call the police and save the day.
I feel strongly about this subject for many reasons. Themost important one is safety.
The other reasons are:
•staying connected to your family,
•learning responsibility, and
•how to use technology.
SAFETY
If your kid finds himself in a dangerous situation, he cancall right away:
•the police,
•his parents or
•the fire department.
If you need to find your child you can use a trackingdevice that is in their phone.
STAYING CONNECTED
The cell phone allows you to:
•change your plans or remind your child of appointments
•Give words of encouragement
•Tell your child if you are going to be picking them up late
•Make them less homesick when they are away.
RESPONSIBILITY
Cell phones will help children to be more responsible. They willlearn how to:
•follow rules that their parents give them. Like how many hoursthey get to use their phone and where they can use it.
•Make sure text messages are nice to their friends.
•Never text while walking or crossing the street.
HELPS US LEARN
Mobile phones help us to learn in a lot of different ways, like:
•How to use technology.
•Can buy education apps on the phone that can help them learn
•Can buy apps that can help tutor them in subjects that they are havingtrouble in.
HELPS US LEARN – CONTINUED
•You can also do your homework on your phone and thensend it to your teacher.
•You can enter reminders on when and what to study
CONCLUSION !!
