In a quest of finding alternatives to books and other printed materials for tasks and examinations ,especially with a growing number of innovative AR or desktop and mobile applications for the education systems,
for instance
, numerous schools supply
gadgets
 like handy computers and tablets. In
this
 essay, I shall draw some key points of the pros and cons of allowing
students
 to use
gadgets
 in the classroom.   Some would argue that delivering facilities like these surely allow
students
 to not bring their heavy books which sometimes leads to several health issues.
For example
, bringing some scientific textbooks like Physics Universe by Halliday and Resnick affected back pain.
Therefore
 it is certainly the case that learning with laptops and tablets enables
students
 to retain their stamina during study hours which usually take more than 12 hours. 
Nonetheless
, in reality, there are a number of
students
 who could not able to focus on the materials given by the teachers because of gadget distraction. Based on my fellow teacher's experience, one of her
students
 was not answering the teacher's question when it comes to cold calling in the classroom. The
students
 were not able to manage the pace of learning which resulted in lower grades. Seen in
this
 light, providing
gadgets
 might subside the grades  
To sum up
, both the positive and negative side has been presented. In order to alleviate the disadvantages of
gadgets
 provided by schools, a policy should be developed,
such
 as a ban on the usage of laptops during study hours.
