effects of smartphone

THIS ASSIGNMENT HAS THREE (3) SEPARATE QUESTIONS!!!

QUESTION 1: In this discussion, we will consider the effects of smartphone use on  our capacity to pay and sustain attention. In fact, studies in  cognitive psychology have examined the broader implications of  smartphone use on attention in general and shown that use of smartphones  negatively impacts cognitive functions, including sustained attention.  However, it is hard to imagine uncoupling everyday life from these  internet-enabled devices. Importantly, are we all equally vulnerable to  these effects? Or are some people at greater risk?

To answer the questions below, use your module reading as well as  your own life experience. Your initial post should be a minimum of 200  words. When you describe ideas that are not your own, be sure to  paraphrase and not use direct quotations.

For your initial post, address the following:

In your opinion, should minors have access to smartphones?
 

Consider the many facets of this question and weigh the positives of  smartphones with the negatives, including both long-term and short-term  effects. These could include such long-term effects as impacts on our  ability for introspection, or short-term effects that include  distraction and anxiety.

Be specific in your response about the age group of minors you are  referring to. You could focus on children 12 and under or teen drivers  (or both).

Ensure that your response is also founded in the resources from this  module (or resources you find to back up your opinion) and that you are  citing your sources.

How does the concept of smartphone use and attention specifically in  minors apply to any of the following programmatic course themes?
 

• Self-care

Social justice

Emotional intelligence (EI)

Career connections

• QUESTION 2: Describe your own perspectives regarding inclusive education (e.g., the  practice of mainstreaming those with disabilities into larger classes  with their peers). Provide specific examples from your personal  experiences as well as from a broader societal standpoint.
• QUESTION 3: Review the module’s resources. Using what you have  learned, write a 2- to 3-page APA-formatted paper using the following  as your guide: 
• Describe your own perspectives regarding the issues facing students from diverse backgrounds in the educational setting.
• What factors do you think have contributed to the continuing problem  of the overrepresentation of students from diverse backgrounds in  special education programs?
• What do you think should be the role (if any) of standardized assessments in the identification of students with disabilities? 
•
