Summary:

Research has frequently found that students use their information and communication technologies—such as smartphones and laptops—for non-academic
uses in the classroom. These uses include sending messages as well as checking email and social media accounts. This study aimed to examine students’ in-class
information and communication technology use, their motivations for it, and perceptions of it, as well as their attitudes toward restriction and integration of
information and communication technologies in the classroom. It was found that students most frequently engage in non-academic information and communication
technology use when they feel that they would not miss any new class content, or when they feel disengaged. Students perceived that their non-academic
information and communication technology use had costs, especially distraction. However, students also reported negative attitudes toward policies that would
restrict their information and communication technology use in the classroom but had positive perceptions of attempts to integrate information and communication
technology use. We propose that information and communication technology integration can be an effective method of increasing student engagement—and
therefore decreasing non-academic information and communication technology use. I chose this article because I find it interesting. This study emphasizes the
importance on the use of gadgets such as laptops, cellphones, and tablets in the classroom. I learned that through the use of these, our works will be more
convenient and much easier.
