Use of cell phone in the classroom

In general, it's best to follow your school or instructor's policies on using technology in the classroom. However, if you're using your phone to take notes on the board with an app, and your instructor has not explicitly prohibited the use of phones for note-taking, then it's likely okay to use your phone for this purpose.

That said, even if you're using your phone for note-taking, it's still important to be mindful of how your phone use might be perceived by others in the classroom. For example, if you're constantly looking at your phone or typing away, it could be distracting to those around you. To avoid this, try to be discreet with your phone use and take notes as unobtrusively as possible.

Ultimately, the goal is to be respectful of your classmates and your instructor while still being able to effectively take notes. If you're unsure whether using your phone in class is appropriate, it's always a good idea to ask your instructor for guidance.
