Cell Phone Addiction Project

The goal for this project is to be more conscious of my own phone as it relates to research around learning, brain function and addiction. Many students check their phones a lot. In many cases students think they check their phones as much as other students. This may not be good because they are not checking their phones for educational purposes. Or they are multitasking so it takes them longer to do the work, or they may have false information on the work. A few things that can help students brake their addiction is to turn their phones off. Put their phones away while in class. And put their phones on silent. The 9th graders used an app on their phones to see how many times they unlocked their phones. Click here to see data.
