Use of Smartphones
College students are increasingly applying smartphones in the accomplishment of tasks in their studies. First, smartphones have become a medium for accessing assignments through mobile apps such as Moodle, where students log in and find all the tasks that they should do. Secondly, smartphones are an easy way to browse the internet in search of information for assignments and to increase knowledge. Smartphones are a great source of information, especially when having urgent assignments. According to the 2014 data on mobile use, 89% of teenagers browse the internet hence showing the increased use by students to get information. Also, online programs require recordings of the presentations to allow submission through online platforms. Third, technological developments have led to the emergence of notetaking apps. Therefore, students use smartphones to take notes hence convenient for learning at any time.
Also, at times lectures may be fast, or a student may require actual explanations given by the instructor. In such a case, smartphones are used to record lectures; hence students can later listen to them and make better notes for easy understanding. Lastly, it allows students to connect to ebook apps enabling easy access to resources. Being a student, smartphones have made it easy to learn through having access to resources and an easy way to record and store information.
Also, the development of social media platforms has increased communications between students, and I apply them for discussions with peers hence improving my work. Through social media, I can also reach the instructors to get guidance on tackling assignments, thus improving my performance in school.
