Cell phones are a bit of a mixed bag for me. They can definitely boost learning with the right apps and resources, but they can also be distracting. So, I have some rules in place: we use phones for certain tasks, and then they go away to help everyone stay focused.
We can't ignore that cell phones exist, but I don't have them play any role in class. And I ask that they be put away. It's a challenge, obviously, kids are wired to be checking their phones constantly, and it's hard to try to get their attention span focused on the actual lesson. (In fairness, adults are also wired that way, so I don't mean to be criticizing solely the students.) I would hope that what they learn in class will help them develop some critical reading skills that will help them as they navigate the flood of content coming in on their phones. But I'm not always so optimistic about that.

Of course when admin insist that they can still have their Smart watches as long as they are not on using them (YEAH, RIGHT?). we still have the phone pockets in our rooms just in case they have them. I thought the Indiana law was that they couldn't have them at all in the classroom.
