THEME: Being wise in using smartphones, especially in the classroom.

Using a smartphone in the classroom has a bad impact!

In the digital era, the use of smartphones where is commonplace especially among students and
college students. Operating the smartphone can have bad consequences such as distraction or
student unfocus on the lesson if the operation is not well controlled, because in the smartphone
there are many components that are not connected to the lesson that can interfere with students
such as social media. However, if the operation is well controlled, this will certainly have a lot of
positive impacts.

Access to extensive information.

The breadth of the information network on the interner will certainly make it easier for students
to find the information they want with just a few clicks, no need to bother looking for newspapers or
reading all the books in the library. M. Lenny (2019) said: "Learning activities from time to time are
not only centered on books, but various kinds of information can be accessed through devices
without having to bother visiting libraries that may have been far away". The availability of this
information will certainly make students able to easily explore knowledge and independent learning
so as to allow them to follow the latest developments and grow critical thinking with analytical skills.

Interactive learning.

Inside the smartphone, of course, provides applications or multimedia to facilitate learning such
as power points and multi-media quizzes that are more dancing than learning ancient modes which
are arguably quite boring. By implementing this more fun system, of course, students will be more
enthusiastic to participate in interactive.

Personalized learning.

In the smartphone application provides several multi-media learning that is fun and in
personalized design. This will certainly make students more active, responsive and confident. Of
course, this creates a new learning environment, where students feel always cared for and
controlled, so that in the end it can encourage students' academic abilities.

In the world of work, of course, the use of digital media is very favored. This is certainly very
beneficial for students who are good at operating smartphones from an early age. By equipping
digital skills from an early age, it will greatly facilitate them to develop potential talents in the digital
field and of course are accustomed to critically analyzing digital information.
