As discussed in class, cell phone jails are not the best way for teachers to manage technology use in the classroom. It is an easy way for the teacher to ensure students are not constantly being distracted by their devices but it creates a definite power imbalance. Personally, I think I would be less willing to develop a good relationship with a teacher who takes my device because it proves they do not trust me. In class we also talked about how, despite not physically having their phones, students are still likely to be distracted by their anxiety about not having their belongings with them. Today, my group and I talked about how letting students keep their devices on silent mode in their backpacks might be more effective in terms of limiting distraction. This way, students are still responsible for their belongings which are out of sight and out of mind. Another way to keep students (and the teacher) accountable for getting distracted in class is to incorporate everyone in a discussion about expectations at the beginning of the year. Lastly, no matter what strategy teachers use to limit unproductive technology use in the classroom, it is necessary for the teacher to follow the phone rules as well.
