Take out the comma between "class" and "because."

Rephrase your 3 arguments; cheating, bullying, and other electronically academic options. Your wording is a bit overwhelming.

The first reason Cell phones should be allowed in the classroom is learning. Many kids can get help from Siri an app from the iPhone. They can also make learning fun for the kids. It will also help them know the technology we have and how to use it. This is one of of the reasons cell phones should be allowed in the class room.

My first argument about having cell phones in class is kids can read and use them for education. Also it can be used to contact someone in a emergency. And those are a couple reasons why I think phones should be aloud in classrooms.
