Do I need to buy a smart phone for my Sec 1 or a normal phone will do? I am worried whether he will get addicted to games and texting.

at times, teachers may get students to download apps such as socrative, kahoot using their smart phones or use the search engines for classroom activities. however, teachers are also reminded that it is not mandatory for all students to have smart phones, and there should be electronic devices available for students who don't hold a smart phone. I have students who own non-smartphones and they are more focus in school- not always distracted by the need to engage in games or excessive social media usage.
