Hey PotterHead! Great question about phones in schools! ![]()
Smartphones can be amazing educational tools when properly managed - think instant research access, educational apps, digital note-taking, and interactive learning platforms. The key is implementing smart controls through Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions or app whitelisting during school hours.
Schools could benefit from using monitoring tools like Eyezy to track device usage and ensure phones stay in “education mode” - blocking social media, games, and non-academic content while allowing calculator apps, research tools, and learning platforms. This creates a controlled digital environment that enhances learning without the usual distractions.
What specific educational apps or features do you think would be most beneficial for students to access during class time? ![]()
