The Modern Learner How Smartphones Can Help Students Do More in School

Introduction

Many devices have undergone drastic improvements since they were first introduced to the market. Cell phones are one of them. Thanks to current technology, gone are the days when phones could only be used for calling and texting someone. Smartphones today are like tiny computers that can fit inside your pocket. They can do almost everything you want them to.

In urban areas and even in some rural towns, it’s hard to see anyone who does not own a smartphone. They are used by people of all ages, including children and young adults in school. These devices can be used to access the internet anytime and anywhere, but you have to find the right network with promo inclusions that allow you to surf the net, call and chat online, and send texts.

DITO Telecommunity is the newest major telco in the Philippines. We offer

 

Connect With Classmates and Teachers

Connecting with classmates and teachers is a must, especially during emergencies. For instance, if you suddenly get sick, you can send a message to your teacher to inform them of your absence.

You and your fellow students can also use your smartphones to make group chats, where you can exchange notes by sending pictures, chat about group projects, and call each other about after-school activities. It helps you create strong bonds and is also quite helpful for group study sessions.

 

Surf the Internet and Do Research

Many schools in the country, especially public ones, don't have enough computers that students can use for their schoolwork. However, this doesn’t mean that they can no longer access the internet and do research for their homework, projects, and other school activities.

DITO’s data promos are highly beneficial for students who want to surf the internet and get access to different websites that can help with their studies. The mobile data deals we offer are so

 

Download Student-Friendly Apps and Resources

Applications, or apps for short, are what make smartphones special (and undoubtedly better) than traditional phones. These programs let you do many things, like access the internet through the browser app. Meanwhile, social media apps let you connect with friends, family, classmates, and teachers.

Of course, there are other kinds of apps designed to help students with their school activities. Here are a few examples that you might want to download:

  • Dictionary Apps – These programs let you access the dictionary without the hassle of carrying a bulky book. If you don’t know the meaning of a word, you can just look it up using the app.
  • Note-Taking Apps – You don’t always have a pen and paper with you, but it’s safe to assume that your phone is always in your pocket or backpack. In case you want to jot down something important, you can use a note-taking app.
  • Daily Planner Apps – If time management isn’t your strong suit, downloading a planner on your smartphone might be helpful. These apps can help you create to-do lists so you don’t miss anything important.
  • Brain-Training Apps – Games can be addicting, but they can also be helpful in moderation. There are apps available that give you daily puzzles to solve just to keep your mind stimulated.
  • Scanner Apps – Computer scanners are bulky and heavy, but thankfully, there are programs that can help you copy documents with just your smartphone. Scanner apps use your phone’s camera to quickly take high-quality images of various documents, like pages from books.

There are more student-friendly apps you can use for your schoolwork. If you wish to download any of them, be sure you have access to the internet and plenty of mobile data. Don’t worry because your DITO sim offers fast internet, and the promos give you a large amount of data to spend.

 

Save Books and Reading Materials

Books are quite heavy and bulky, so putting them in your bag and bringing them to school every day can be quite a hassle. Fortunately, you can now place those reading materials in your pocket by downloading them on your smartphone.

The downside, however, is that having a lot of e-books can take up a lot of storage space, depending on the file type or format. Also, downloading them requires plenty of data, which won’t be a problem if you use a DITO sim. Our promo inclusions give you access to a

 

Reach Guardians in Case of Emergency

Emergency situations, like sudden torrential rains and floods, power interruptions, and even fires, can happen in schools. They’re quite rare, and when they occur, faculty members and other administrative staff do their best to prevent students from getting harmed.

However, it’s still a good idea to be prepared. Be sure your smartphone has enough load to call and text your guardians, so they can fetch you or keep in touch with you during these situations. Your DITO sim will come in handy. The promos we offer include unlimited DITO-to-DITO texts and calls, so you can reach your parents anytime.

 

Conclusion

Smartphones are almost a necessity for everyone nowadays. They are useful even to students, especially when completing projects, homework, and activities for school. With these devices, it’s easy to access the internet, allowing them to do research and connect with peers and teachers.

However, a stable WiFi connection or mobile data is necessary to access the internet. Students don’t need to worry, though, because there are DITO promos they can subscribe to that provide plenty of mobile data on top of unlimited calls and texts to fellow DITO sim users. Browse through our website today to learn about the inclusions of our data promos.
