Mind Your Manners When Using Your Cellular Phone




Hello,

Cellular phone use has dramatically increased over the years. This could be attributed to the fact that people have realized the advantage of having one as you can basically contact anyone or you can practically be reached on important matters whatever be your location. The mass production of cellular phones has made these devices more affordable for people to buy. The market is filled with a wide variety of models and brands to suit every budget from the high-end units to those that are cheap.

But if we try to observe our surroundings it seems that the people all around us are not practicing proper etiquette when it comes to using their mobile devices. Manners are becoming unacceptable. Where ever we go, several mobile phones always ring and they somehow disturb others. We find cellular phones ringing at funerals, weddings, public performances, during meetings, interviews and even at places of worship where people are sincerely praying. It seems that people are increasingly becoming impolite when it comes to using their cellular phones. What's worse is that some talk in very loud voices enabling other people to overhear their private conversation.

It is a time that people learn some manners when it comes to using their mobile devices. When you are at a meeting, dinner, or even class turn your cellular phone off or put it in silent or vibration mode to avoid disrupting what you are attending. Most mobile devices are equipped with caller id and missed calls are registered. You wouldn't have to worry about not being able to return a call after. If it is very important that you take the call, excuse yourself and proceed to a private or isolated location to take it.

Never make calls when inside museums, theaters, libraries, places of worship and when attending performances like stage plays, symphony concerts, etc. Avoid using loud and irritating ring tones so as not to annoy other people. When making calls make your conversation private by speaking in a low tone. I don't think other people would be interested in listening to your affairs. You should be aware of your company's regulations with regards to the use of cellular phones at work. It is important that you do not use your mobile phone when not allowed to so as to avoid being reprimanded.

The increased use of cellular phones should go together with the increased practice of etiquette and good manners towards others in using cell phones.

What Age Is An Appropriate Cell Phone Age?


The demands of kids are getting more and more difficult to keep up with. Once upon a time, the biggest thing on a twelve-year-old's wish list was a new bicycle. Now kids want cell phones at younger and younger ages. How old is old enough to purchase the ever desired cell phone? How young is too young?

Cell phone shopping for younger children can be very difficult. Depending on the age of the child it is possible they have not developed enough self-restraint to handle a cell phone. School work may suffer as may other social relationships.

Cell phones now come with internet access, which can present dangers unknown to your child. Easily downloadable information may not be age appropriate. Cell phones also offer children private communication abilities through text messaging.

It is not necessary to activate all of the possible features that come with a cell phone, but understanding your own child's limitations can help you know what is truly appropriate for them at their age. Private texting can lead to highly inappropriate conversations. Unlike instant messaging or phone conversations, texts can be deleted permanently and a parent has no recourse to determine whether a child is having innocent conversations with their friends or are being enticed into dangerous and self-destructive behaviors.

They now have cell phones more appropriately geared toward young children. These phones come with a parental control feature that allows access to preset phone numbers such as reaching mom at work, 911 access, and several preset phone numbers of the parents choice, The cell phone requires a passcode to access any changes to the phone's capabilities to prevent the child from listing their own phone numbers in their cell phone.

The appropriate age for taking a child cell phone shopping is truly up to the parent. If a parent thinks that a cell phone has beneficial uses for their child and can handle the limitations imposed as well as basic honesty, then cell phones can be excellent lessons in responsibility. Cell phones can help teach self-imposed limitations as well as enhance parental communications. A parent can reach their child at all times to inform them of changes or request their presence at home.

Cell phones can be vital in an emergency. While nobody ever expects an emergency to occur, in the event of one your child and you can remain in communication if they have a cell phone. Sometimes it can be the safest form of communication in an emergency situation. Children who have cell phones can almost always reach their parent.

Smooth Teaching Through Classroom Management

Cell Phones and Classroom Management


Teaching can be difficult if boisterous and noisy students will disrupt the lessons. As a teacher, keeping the lessons and discussion rolling could be difficult if you keep getting interrupted. This proved to be hard to handle, especially for those who are just starting in their teaching profession. 

Classroom management refers to how teachers make sure that lessons continue even with the disruption. Classroom management helps teachers deal with issues about motivation, discipline and respect. There are different strategies and techniques that teachers use to make sure that their students are inspired, motivated and well-behaved. Of course, techniques would depend on the teacher's preference. 

The best time to let students know about your rules is during the first day. Even before classes start, you would have to know what to expect from students and how they can meet those expectations. So, when explaining the classroom rules on the first day, make sure that they understand it clearly and they know the consequences for not abiding the rules. If you fail to explain or provide punishments or consequences of violating classroom rules, then students would get confident not to follow them at all. 

Make it a part of your course or subject syllabus. Discuss the rules, point-by-point if necessary. Just like what you do in academic topics. This would help clear out any misunderstanding and wrong interpretation. 

Students who tend to become unruly are pushed into doing disruptive behavior because they are bored. It is best to avoid an hour-long lecture. If you continue to do that, your students would sleep or play with their cell phones and other gadgets. If you notice that it would take an army before your students could remain strapped in their seats within the next hour, then incorporate different kinds of activities. 

For most teachers, they would have three activities in a forty-five minute period. The student gets to release their energy and at the same time learn something. If your students are trying to deviate the discussion into something completely irrelevant, then do not say that straight. You can try to connect it and then start to get back to the original topic. If your students are becoming confrontational, then do not argue to make them agree with you. They would resist more if you force them. Let them see what are the consequences of their bad behavior. 

If you are having problems with specific students and they are becoming too much for you to handle, do not force it into yourself. There are many aspects or people in the school administration that could help. You can talk to the guidance counselor and ask for any ideas on how to face or handle the issue. If the student will cooperate, you can have them meet the counselors themselves. 

Another strategy that teachers use is making their students feel that they genuinely care for them. You could ask them how they are whenever you see them. If they are really unruly, you could pull them out when everyone is busy and ask him what is wrong. Sometimes, students will tell you some problems they have encountered at home or at school. 

The bottom line is students also have pent-up energy inside them. Those energies if unused in their lessons will explode in other ways. As a teacher, you would have to make sure that those energies is spent in a useful way. Teachers are not only concerned with academic teaching, but making sure that the students' energy are put into positive and productive use.

Cell Phone Calling Card - Recharging Talking Power

 
Recharging Your Cellphone Online
 
So I don't know if I was the only person who didn't know this, but it is more expensive to call a cell phone internationally than it is to call a landline. This applies even if you are calling from a landline and not from a cell phone. I found this out from a friend of mine, and suddenly felt very bad about the fact that I only had a cell phone number in Venezuela for my friends and family to call. Now of course it is more expensive to call internationally from a cell phone, but I expected that, however, I did not realize it was more expensive to call a cell phone.

Well the not having a landline thing I can't do much about, but the price of calling me I can assist with. There are apparently now calling cards that are made specifically for cell phones. My mom sometimes needs to call me during the day when she is not home. This of course results in a long string of text messages as it is exorbitantly expensive to call internationally from your cell phone. However, I have found cell phone calling cards. These are of course more expensive than landline calling cards, but still cheaper than calling from a cell phone.

I of course found this information on the internet, like I, find all the information I want. This service is just like a calling card in the fact that it is prepaid. However, it adds on to your normal cell phone service in that you do not have to actually have the card on hand each time you want to make a call, You simply have to call the access number and it recognizes your cell phone calling card. From there you can call anywhere in the world at up to a 75% savings from your normal fee. Oh the wonders of the things you can find on the internet.

Teens: Life vs Electronics



Teens today have so much more to distract them besides their homework, the opposite sex, friends, family members, and extracurricular activities. Besides learning how to drive, teenagers are occupied with playing with an assortment of electronic gizmos including cell phones, camera phones, personal computers, MP3 players, DVD players, iPods, Xbox, digital cameras, the list goes on. Wired? You betcha...and then some. Perhaps all of this electronic gadgetry has you concerned and you are wondering just how you can extract your teen and involve them in an outside activity where they can expand their minds and refresh their bodies. Are you out of ideas? Let's look at some options that may appeal to them and remove the worry from you.


Work on the Car So, you think that a car isn't a kid magnet as much as when you first learned how to drive? Think again. Today, kids are pimping their rides and expressing themselves through their cars. Custom paint, decals, blacked out windows, even faux aircraft wings are being attached to the outside of their cars. On the inside, it can be totally surreal: rear view mirrors wrapped with a studded belts, frilly seat cover trim, pushpin art attached to the headliner, decals everywhere, etc. Let them pimp your Camry or Explorer...that'll keep them off the computer...and get you noticed too!

Volunteer Help your teen organize a group of his or her friends to clean up the neighborhood, paint an elderly neighbor's house, teach younger kids how to ride bikes, or visit folks at the local nursing home. You remember when you were a teen and you heard the comments from your parent's generation about kids not wanting to do anything or being "no good," right? With a little direction, young people can do just about anything and are more than willing to help out if you believe in them. Rewards are nice too...be prepared to throw a pizza party after their time of service is over for the day.

Get a Job Kids who hold a job while going to school learn how to handle their money and budget their time. Limit work hours to fewer than 20 per week to ensure that their grades are not adversely affected. If your student is involved in extracurricular activities too, make sure that this time is included with the hours that they work. Maintaining good grades is essential, no job or outside activity is worth it if it takes away from their schooling.

In all cases, show your teen that you believe in him or her. As you know, parenting is much more than providing for their needs...you want to guide your child from youth toward adulthood by showing them that there is much more to life than all things electronic. So, gently disconnect your teen and get them involved with other pursuits.
