- Abstract
The usage of mobile phones during school and studying hours is a subject of recent discussion. Are smartphones makers that young people show more or less interest in classroom? Are mobile phones a greater educational tool to take advantage on, or just tools that distract pupils' attention from their studies? This research explores the utility of smartphones during study times, including the amount of time spent on leisure activities through them, and as a contrast, the usage of smartphones as kind of academic tool to obtain and share notes from classes with their classroom mates or to access to information and knowledge on the Internet in their devices. Taking into account the results, its conclusions propose the desirability of reconsidering the usual dichotomy that opposes online and offline in education and the sociability of youth.
