While the idea of a phone being a distraction is true, it only applies if the student allows themselves to be distracted by it. The teacher could even make a simple rule that the phone has to be faced down on the desk while taking the test to eliminate cheating. The music helps me be more attentive to what I have in front of me.Ī student could cheat using a phone, but just because their phone isn’t allowed out doesn’t mean they won’t find another method to use to cheat. I then start to look around the room instead of staying focused.
The deafening silence distracts me when you can only hear the sound of the people around you filling in answers on their tests. In my opinion, listening to music while taking a test should be allowed because it helps me tune out the people around me and focus on the test. Very few teachers allow students to listen to music while they are taking a test unless they are very laid back.Ī lot of students want to be able to listen to music during tests but teachers don’t allow it in fear of distraction or cheating. Some of them don’t care at all if you sit and text, and some make you put them away at certain times or don’t allow you to use them at all. Thanks so much, Jordan.Teachers have different levels of flexibility when it comes to using phones in class. Jordan: You'll find covers and some original material on there. Jordan: Yes, it's JordanClarke (with an e) 500. My channel's called JordanClarke500, erm …
Do you want to mention the name of your channel in case our listeners want to subscribe? So that's how I'm able to garner more fans and subscribers over to my channel, so they can hear more of my music and through that they are able to hear my original music as well. Jordan: My favourite platform is YouTube because, erm, that's where most of my subscribers are, and what I do is every week on my channel I put out covers of my most favourite songs and the most famous artists of the songs that are doing really well. And what, which is your favourite platform for putting your music out? Erm, there's not much time given to be able to really make your craft and sonically engage in an audience 'cause you don't have long enough, you don't have their attention long enough, for them to really listen and invest in your development. But, equally, I think there are negatives to it because the opportunities are getting less and less, and people's interests and hopes for instant gratification are having a detrimental effect on the ability of making new music. I think in many ways it's a good thing because it opens lots of doors to many people that otherwise wouldn't be able to afford studio time and being able to get their creativity in the best possible format it can be. Jordan: Er, I'm interested to see how it goes. Interviewer: Do you think the changes are for the better or for the worse? As a musician myself, I'm making a lot more of my music from a home studio because it's more accessible for a lot more people now. And it's a great, and a lot of people are making a career that way, erm, which I just find really interesting.
They have one song that goes online, a DJ ends up playing it in a club and, er, it goes viral overnight. Er, but, equally, you could have a hit in your bedroom as some, many people, many artists are. Er, it's also made things very difficult because the pool's so much bigger now – everybody's doing it. As an artist myself, I found it really interesting how, erm, songs are going viral and acts are breaking not from a prime slot on a television show but just by, erm, music gaining heat online, getting shared around and numbers exponentially growing. But nowadays, music gets shared around all the time on YouTube and Twitter and Instagram. Erm, when I was young and my parents were young, you'd only ever hear music on the radio or on television on Top of the Pops. And, erm, it's funny how growing up you see how in today's digital age and generation, how music is distributed and shared. I grew up listening to it on the radio and my mum's old CDs in the car. Jordan: Today I was going to talk about music and, erm, how it's changed in terms of distribution and influence on social media in today's generation. Interviewer: Thanks for talking to me today.
