Teachers’ Lounge: Banning, Allowing, and Needing Devices in the Classroom

In an effort to cut down on focus attention on learning, some instructors forbid or strongly discourage the use of electronic devices during class. Is this an effective practice? This Lounge will look at some research on this topic, consider when devices may be desirable and even necessary for some or all students, and discuss policies in this area that we have tried or admired. Lunch available for registered participants. Register
