Florida’s Orange County school district banned cell phones for the entire school day, even during breaks. So kids can’t use them during class and they can't use them during breaks. They have to keep phones in the backpacks at all times. There’s a "We see it, we take it" policy. "And on the first day, more than 100 phones were confiscated from students. In the following days, confiscations dropped dramatically. This school district has seen a drop in bullying and a rise in student engagement. Teachers report that there has been "newfound life" injected into the classroom. Students are more talkative and more collaborative." (@scrollingtodeath on IG) What do you guys think about this no phone policy in school? I like it with an emergency policy where they can use phones in a crisis.

Using sliders like this one can be useful when modelling multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1000 to demonstrate that all the digits move the same amount of place value columns, to show how the value of each digit changes and to examine the purpose of a place holder.

If you haven’t taught kids in the last decade, your opinion on cell phones in class better be informed by people who have.

We spend 50% more hours in school than Finland. They get 15 mins of recess every hour. They have NO standardized tests except for PISA in HS and they outperform us every time. When we can’t give students more recess, physical activity & Arts then we don’t understand education.
