My teacher keeps
me engaged with

Distinction between ages.
Picture of paramedic class … by every measure 18-29 is going to use smartphones with greater frequency. The same applies for teachers in Pew research on Advanced Placement and National Writing Project teachers. Younger teachers are much more likely to use technology, incorporate it into classroom activities, and encourage students to use ithttp://pewinternet.org/Reports/2013/Teachers-and-technology/Summary-of-Findings.aspx from February 2013Younger teachers are more confidentYounger teachers are more likely to assign web based tasksYounger teachers are more likely to ask colleagues for ideas on how to use technology There are notable generational differences in how teachers experience the impact of digital technologies in their professional livesAs is the case among the full adult population, differences in technology use emerge between older and younger teachers. Specifically:Teachers under age 35 are more likely than teachers age 55 and older to describe themselves as “very confident” when it comes to using new digital technologies (64% vs. 44%)Conversely, the oldest teachers (age 55 and older) are more than twice as likely as their colleagues under age 35 to say their students know more than they do about using the newest digital tools (59% vs. 23%)45% of teachers under age 35 have their students develop or share work on a website, wiki or blog, compared with 34% of teachers ages 55 and olderYounger teachers are also more likely than the oldest teachers to have students participate in online discussions (45% v. 32%) and use collaborative web-based tools such as GoogleDocs to edit their work (41% v. 34%)Younger teachers are more likely to “very often” draw on colleagues for ideas about how to use new technologies in the classroom (22% of teachers under age 35 do this), when compared with teachers age 35-54 (16%) and teachers age 55 and older (13%)

This policy is not limited to devices sold as a cell phone. Any electronic device which meets the spirit of this policy is included.
Not a disruption or distraction until you define it a disruption, label it as a disruption, and reinforce that as a disruption.
World is full of distractions. Disastrous to try to control them all. Distraction is a timeless problem. Role of teacher is to keep students engaged with worthwhile activities, age/skill/knowledge appropriate instructions, timely feedback, regular assessment, and breaks to re-energize.

Somewhere between a “Ban” and “Unlimited Use” is a balance.

Since we can’t likely overcome ingrained habits, brain wiring, and addictive behavior how can we be intentional about using in and out of the classroom.

Looking up drugs – write down 3 meds from previous patients. Look-up and review with classmates. Use case, PA EMT writes:“And yes since them I did get the drug app for my tablet since then. What had happened was that we were on the scene of a call and an elderly patient had heavy bleeding and a whole laundry list of medications. A new protocol here is if its a fall, head trauma and they are on blood thinners it's a trauma alert at the hospital now. We couldn't figure out which drug was their thinner. But yea since then I did get the app.”
