Cellphone Use Project

Posted by Kamaiyah Jackson in Intro to Tech and Comp App · Hertz · a2 on


We were instructed to do a project on the cell phone use of or 9th grade class. After my research for this project I feel as though my peers are addicted to their cell phones. We probably should ease up on our use of them. Here’s what we can do about our addiction,move your phone away from you while you sleep,turn off when during conversations,and no phone zone.To collect our data each 9th grader with a phone recorded how many times they checked their phone for two days. We then put it in a chart with a that the whole 9th grade could see.

  1. ​The purpose of this project was to compare my phone use to my peers and reflect on my phone use as well as my peers and how multitasking cell phone addiction affect peoples lives.

  2. What I have learned from the data is that some individuals phones take up quite a big portion of their lives. Such as texting while doing homework the most common answer shows that you are putting your phone before your school work and this can lead to some lower scores or hinder performance. Also from the information I learned that social media is one of the top used programs on a phone as from the data I found that 20 people out of the 83 used Instagram most of the time one of the top social media sites in the world.

  3. I want to keep my addiction to my cell phone at a minimum and the article Addicted to Your Mobile Phone? Five Ways to Beat Your Addiction really helped me plan my day so it would not rely on my phones as much as I did before. I want to create a schedule to start off so each day I can reduce my cell phone usage to lower levels. Some tips I found from the website are as list:

  • Don’t use your phone directly in the morning or while you are going to sleep breaking you out of your habit and fear of notification.
  • Trying different things such as reading, drawing, or making hobbies.
  • Talk to a friend or family member in real life distracting you from those notification and constant anxiety.

We collected data in the chart by all the ninth grade classes filling out a form with their information to be put in a single chart as shown by the chart linked below.

Cell Phone Use Project

The goal of this project was to look at how teenagers use their phone, how much they use them, and how to improve how much you use it. In the data that I saw, many students use their phone and check it a lot during the course of one day. I discovered that many people use their phone for social media. The data included many different numbers and different kinds of information. Some tips to improve how much you use your phone are to put your phone on do not disturb so that you don't know when you get a notification. Also you can turn your phone off so that you can do other things. 

This data was collected by students entering their own data into the chart. Students filled out a form about their phone use. They tracked how much they used their phone for over two days using an app. Then put it into the chart so that the whole ninth grade can compare and analyze the data. 

Cell Phone Addiction Project

​

The goal for this project is to be more conscious of my own phone as it relates to research around learning, brain function and addiction. Many students check their phones a lot. In many cases students think they check their phones as much as other students. This may not be good because they are not checking their phones for educational purposes. Or they are multitasking so it takes them longer to do the work, or they may have false information on the work. A few things that can help students brake their addiction is to turn their phones off. Put their phones away while in class. And put their phones on silent. The 9th graders used an app on their phones to see how many times they unlocked their phones. Click here to see data.


Cell Phone Usage

This project was about cell phone usage/addiction and multitasking.

The goal of this project is to be more conscious of your own phone use as it relates to research around learning, brain function, and addiction.

Students in my grade use their phones way more than we think and I do now believe that teens are overly addicted to their phones, before I thought that us teens didn’t use our phones how parents exaggerated that we did now from this project I see we are addicted to our phones. A few tips I have to cut down on phone usage is:

  • Once in awhile just put your phone down and take in your surroundings.
  • At dinner put your electronics away and conversate with family.
  • Instead of always bringing your phone with you when you go out with friends, just leave it behind.

​The purpose of this project was to gather the number of times students in the 9th grade checked their phones so that we could analyze it. After looking at the data I concluded that I check my phone a lot less than my peers. most 9th graders seemed to spend a lot of time on social media that they should be spending on their academics. I believe it would be a good idea for a lot of 9th graders to take a week off from social media so they get used to what it is like not always having it because this could make them less likely to abuse it later.

The 9th graders used an app to keep track of their data and then they put it onto google sheets.
