I strongly support the use of personal electronic devices in learning because I see a lot advantages.
First of all, they can be used for both research and study. Students can use them to download and store information and textbooks. This can help them save learning time and make their backpacks lighter.
Second, students can study better with modern technology because there are many useful learning applications on smartphones, laptops, tablets and other media players such as dictionary, spelling, translation, pronunciation and other apps.
Last but not least, mobile devices can help students communicate with each other or relax by listening to music and playing games when they are bored or tired of studying.
In conclusion, personal electronic devices bring more good than harm to students. I suggest that teachers allow and encourage the use of these devices in learning both inside and outside of class.
