My Writeboard discussion.....
2/1/13
Hey guys,
Do you think it's good for the kiddos to have their phones
in class or not? I was in 5th grade and they just can't seem to manage
the use of their phones correctly. I know that having their phones can
be helpful when it comes to other apps but it is really necessary in the
classroom below high school?
I think that high school kids
manage their phones pretty well. Most schools I work in don't allow
them to call or text but they can pull out their phones for music during
study halls. That actually seems to help because they stay on task
better and are less distracted by other kids that are messing around.
So tell me what you think? Do you allow your kids to take their phones to school?

ReplyDeleteI really like this writeboard - could be very useful in a strategic planning groups
If the teacher (who is in charge of the classroom) decides students are not using phones correctly then maybe just stop and have a quick lesson on how to properly use phones. If still not using phones properly after the lesson then say no more phones.
