Mobile Phones in Schools | InnerTapp Often, school mobile phone policies miss the mark. Rules are tightened, but teachers still battle constant disruptions, while students find ways to sneak phones into lessons. Schools need policies that are practical, enforceable, and proven to reduce distractions. We've teamed up with Teacher Tapp to explore the disconnect between policy and classroom reality. Join us as we ask, are schools ready to act on what the evidence and teachersโ€™ experiences clearly show? With InnerTapp: What Teachers Know. What Studies Show. See more from us on the Teacher CPD Academy: https://www.teachercpdacademy.com/ Join the Teacher Tapp panel via the App Store

Many schools have strict rules on mobile phones. But what do teachers actually experience day to day? ๐Ÿค”

We teamed up with @innerdrive.bsky.social on InnerTapp #2, looking at the gap between whatโ€™s written in policy and what really happens in the classroom ๐Ÿ‘‡

How much are students using their phones at school? Just how much are your students using their phones at school? Find out more in this blog and what you can do about it.

In America, students spend almost 25% of lesson time on their mobile phones ๐Ÿ“ฑ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ. That is wild.

I think your colour coding of the environment is the best addition Iโ€™ve seen to any memory model in like forever. Is so succinct and clear. Genuinely think itโ€™s very cleverly presented ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

To the replies of โ€˜this study states the obviousโ€™. People say that as if itโ€™s a bad thing. Thatโ€™s EXACTLY why we need research. Because we are filled with cognitive biases and common sense isnโ€™t very common. Easy to get caught up in group think.

The response to this has been interestingโ€ฆ

๐ŸŸก Twitter: we need to focus on how to help students think hard (I agree โœ…)

๐Ÿ”ต Blue Sky: we need oral assessment (I disagree โŒ)

๐Ÿ”ด LinkedIn: this is a weak study/we need more AI training/this shows how AI can be good for learning (I cringe a little bit ๐Ÿ™„)

New research from MIT found that those who used ChatGPT canโ€™t remember any of the content of their essays.

Key takeaway: the product doesnโ€™t suffer, but the process does. And when it comes to essays, the process *is* how they learn.
