- 3. PORTABLE DIGITAL DEVICES A portable Digital device is any device that can easily be carried. Portable devices are becoming an increasingly important part of personal computing as the capabilities of devices like laptops, tablets and smart phones continue to improve. A portable device may also be called a handheld device or mobile device. Smart Phone Laptop or Tablet A tablet PC

- 6. PERSONAL DIGITAL ASSISTANTS Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) are handheld devices with features such as calendar, notes, and so on. They are also known as a palmtop computer. They can be used to access the Internet usually through Wi-Fi. Current Popular PDA Operating Systems RIM BlackBerry Linux Palm Symbian Microsoft Pocket PC Microsoft Windows Mobile
- 7. GLOBAL POSITION SYSTEM The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite navigation system. There are several places where GPS information can found. It can be very useful for forensic investigations in certain situations. GPS devices have expanded their capabilities and features as the technology has improved.
- 8. GLOBAL POSITION SYSTEM Digital Camera Images with GPS Information Some recent digital cameras have built-in GPS receivers (or external modules you can connect to the camera). This makes it possible for the camera to record where exactly a photo was taken. Cell Phones with GPS Some recent cell phones (e.g. a Motorola EZX phone such as the Motorola A780) have a built-in GPS receiver and navigation software. This software might record the paths travelled (and the date/time), which can be very useful in forensic (scientific tests or techniques used in connection with the detection of crime.) investigations.

- 15. PROS OF DIGITAL DEVICES IN THE CLASSROOM Peace of mind Parents know that in an emergency the student can contact them and vice versa. In addition, more and more cellphones and smartphones contain GPS devices that can be tracked if necessary. Instant answers Access to the Internet provides for instant answers for the curious. This is the search-and-learn environment kids are involved in today.
- 16. PROS OF DIGITAL DEVICES IN THE CLASSROOM Wider access to information students can be exposed to a world of creative ideas outside of their bubble. They can learn another language. They have access to an endless array of options available, not just to help them learn, but to gain skills they might not otherwise have access to. Access to video: Electronic devices in the classroom can enhance the learning experience by providing instant video access. Students are made more real and easier to digest in the form of instant video availability.
- 17. PROS OF DIGITAL DEVICES IN THE CLASSROOM Social learning: We tend to look at the negative sides of social media. However, there can also be an educational aspect. Social learning is a great way for students to share information, thoughts and ideas on a subject. Properly focused, some students, who may be quiet or shy in a classroom, may blossom in a social learning situation made possible by digital devices.
- 18. CONS OF DIGITAL DEVICES IN THE CLASSROOM Harmful effects of digital devices too much exposure for students who have video screens in front of their faces or computers in their laps. If students frequently use these devices at home, additional exposure at school could be viewed as harmful. Inappropriate materials: Distraction from schoolwork With the temptation of social media and texting in their hands, students may focus solely on their social life instead of the lesson plan.
- 19. CONS OF DIGITAL DEVICES IN THE CLASSROOM Child predators and cyber bullying (the use of electronic communication to bully a person, typically by sending messages of threatening nature.) Using digital devices at school creates just that much more exposure and potential danger for students. In addition, cyber bullying is also an increasing issue. Permitting use of digital devices in the classroom could potentially lead to more of it. Provide a ‘dis-connect’ too much time with digital devices provide a disconnect of students from face-to-face social activities, family communications and nature. Digital devices in the classroom would probably lead to an even greater such disconnection.
- 20. SHOULD INSTITUTE PERMIT DIGITAL DEVICES IN THE CLASSROOM? There are institutes that have seen great improvements by allowing the use of digital devices in the classroom. What is clear is that if such use is permitted, there should be guidelines and rules in place. Students should be taught online safety, Use of judgment in determining good quality sources of information, Students restraint from personal use in the classroom.
- 21. REASONS TO ALLOW DIGITAL DEVICES IN CLASSROOM They help facilitate conversation. They help in promoting a more inclusive classroom. They help foster a more democratic atmosphere. They are more environmentally friendly than paper. They offer an opportunity to educate students about media use.
