Should students use their phones in school?

Nowadays, technology dominates society in every aspect you could imagine, one of them being in education. A large number of schools, colleges, teachers, and most importantly, students improve their abilities by using the Internet, although there's controversy about it. Could students be crossing the line by using their mobile phones at school?
The Internet is a big and powerful sharing community, which means you can find any information about any subject easily and quickly. If used correctly, can clearly enhance the learning process. However, school isn't a place only for studying, it is also where you learn about social skills and the use of mobile phones definitely has negative impacts from this point of view.
As a result, students can be deeply affected by the excessive use of the Internet. The use of their phones in class or even during breaks can harm their social abilities and concentration, it should only be accepted if the teacher believes it is necessary for learning.

Should students use their phones in school?

Nowadays, technology dominates society in every aspect you could imagine, one of them being in education.

A large number of schools, colleges, teachers, and, most importantly, students improve their abilities by using the Internet, although. However, there's some controversy about it.

This sentence feels very long. While it's not technically a run on sentence, it does feel like one.

I added a comma between "and" and "most importantly" since it interrupts the flow of the list. "Students" is the only thing that has an adverb in your list, so it needs to be broken up. Adding parentheses around (most importantly) would also work.

The Internet is a big and powerful sharing community, which means you can find any information about any subject easily and quickly.

If used correctly, it can clearly enhance the learning process.

The subject just needs to be established again! That's all!

However, school isn't only a place only for studying, i. It is also where you learn about social skills, and the use of mobile phones definitely has a negative impacts from this point of view.

This also feels like a run on sentence. This is something that I was taught as a very young child, so it's a little difficult to explain.

Run on sentences are sentences that have multiple sentences in one. You are avoiding the sentences being complete run ons correctly with commas and using particles like "and", but sentences are a lot clearer if you use (at most) two ideas in one.

If you're trying to use two sentences in one using "and" like this, you need a comma before it.

As a result, students can be deeply affected by the excessive use of the Internet.

No problems here! I just wanted to say great job on correctly using "affected" here! The difference between "effect" and "affect" can be difficult to understand, even for native speakers!

The use of their phones in class or even during breaks can harm their social abilities and concentration, i. It should only be acceptllowed if the teacher believes it is necessary for learning.

Accepting implies something is being done or given on purpose.
Example: "I'm accepting the invitation to your party."

Allowing implies something is being done without anyone or anything stopping it.
Example: "My dog is allowed to sleep on the bed."

Feedback

This is a very thoughtful exercise, and I like what you wrote about a lot! Keep watching out for run on sentences. My advice would be asking yourself "Can these things be separated?" or just if it feels a little bit long.

Oops! I meant "adjective" not "adverb".
