Dear Teachers,

I hope you are all well. I want to share some information about changes in student smartphone usage at
our school between the 2021 and 2022 school years.

First, there has been [ x ] in communication between our students and teachers via smartphones. In 2022,
we began using a new messaging system at our school. This system makes it more convenient for students
to contact their teachers for guidance and support during non-class hours.

8Also, the use of smartphones for research purposes has increased. Many students have been using theirmobile devices to gather information for their class-related projects. To realize this kind of benefit,
teachers must create resources for their students. One example of this is Ms. Kato's biology class. She
has made a list of internet sites that her students can access to gather extra information about the animals
and insects being studied in her class. Ms. Kato's use of technology in this way should be an example forother teachers who are looking for ways to use technology in their classes. There has been animprovement in students' academic performance as seen in changes in recent test scores. While I cannot
be certain, this may be due to an increase in these kinds of supporting activities being done by teachers.
However, I have some concerns that I want to share. It appears that the use of video-sharing sites [ y ].
Research shows that there is a link between watching too much video content and poor eyesight among
young people. According to the school nurse, the number of students requiring glasses has increased.
Also, the use of social-media has increased. Students often access these kinds of applications at nighttime,taking time away from their studies and reducing their sleep time. Research has also shown that the lightgiven off from smartphone screens may interrupt normal sleep patterns. Please talk to your students during
your lessons about this information. Encourage them to try to maintain a balance between online activities
and other activities, such as sports.

Your dedication to our students' well-being and academic progress is making a positive difference intheir lives. By addressing the issues above and providing guidance to our students, we can ensure thatthey continue to do well both personally and academically.

Thank you for your ongoing commitment to our school community.

statements would be a correct conclusion to tell your audience?

Smartphone usage for organizing and planning tasks stagnated between 2021 and 2022, indicatinga negative trend in using smartphones for productivity and time management among students.
