Students put their phones in their lockers after SHR and are only supposed to bring them out at lunch or after school

This occurred off campus but a student used the class's group LINE chat to discuss a classmate's father which was immediately shared with the family.

Challenge of steaming videos for fun in the library during lunch. It's a problem for bandwidth.

Students are allowed to have their phones and use their phones responsibly. In the event that they are irresponsible in phone use during classes, we will revert to a 6th grade style agreement.

Have been good thus far. Respectful when asked to put away. Not made any essential agreement for it.

This year's grade 9 seem to rely on their phones far less than last year's grade 9s. Last year they tended to try and take a photograph of stuff which is on the whiteboard instead of writing it down. This year's grade 9 are generally good when it comes to note-taking / solution checking etc. when stuff is written on the whiteboard.

At the moment, we are not noticing or aware of any major problems. Because the phone is used for logging temp, emergency alerts, etc., we hope/expect students in this grade level can use them responsibly.

Students using Chromebooks or devices before SHR (some students are there are early as 8:00 AM). Some are working, others are watching videos or playing games.

If I add something to Managebac during class and I notify students I hear a lot of mobile phones give an alert. Students then can't wait to check what it is, disrupting their focus. They need to turn all phones off / to silent.

Students to get their laptops only when they are asked to. Most of the time, students ask at the beginning of the class.

Fine. No problems in class. No agreements made. More of an issue is the students using outside of class, I feel. Plenty of games and calls going on outside of class. Do students really need their phones if they are in a secure campus where the parents can contact them via the office in the event of an emergency. At least from 8.30 am to 3.30 pm.

Students have been encouraged to put their phones and other devices away during SHR to promote connecting with their teachers and peers. They've been cooperative and even amenable to the centering mindfulness activities we've been focusing on.

In G7 art we use the phone regularly/daily to photograph and document artworks for upload to google classroom. Essential.

Students encouraged to download tuner app to speed up the tuning/setup process.

Students do distract themselves with what's on their screens. However, as we need laptops open for most lessons (for the portfolio) we need students to have devices up and running and can only ask them just to have tabs they need open. Constant reminders. EDIT: Oops. I was thinking of the grade 12s. My bad.

# data[].attributes.body
I've been wondering if a bring your own device policy should be extended to grades 6 and 7, as it would add to their personal management and organizational skills.

In my classes, I have not noticed students leaving class often or for long periods of time (regarding playing games in bathrooms).

What is it that some students…class after class, claim that the phone they have his their ONLY device?

# data[].attributes.body
Some students are using it at a calculator until their graphing calculators come in...

Doesn't seem to be misused

# data[].attributes.body
I have a grade 10 SIS student who claims that his phone is just fine to work on. If he's OK with it, and his work is good, can I just let him go ahead?

# data[].attributes.body
All devices are off the desk unless there is a specific research or presentation task. Class notes are handwritten, simply because all three exam papers are handwritten, and it's also important to draw lots of diagrams in class which is more time consuming on a computer. That means laptops make an appearance perhaps once every 20 lessons.
However, I am also conscious that the IB is moving (probably quite quickly) towards computer-based exams.

# data[].attributes.body
The computer is in regular use for note taking, as the new curriculum does require students to log recordings, digital notation, etc. I find that the students are very respectful and cooperative when asked to put devices away and when doing practice or performance activities, they are focused on those items without much distraction.

# data[].attributes.body
It would be nice if we could come up with suggestions for what students can do during lunch instead of just watching videos or playing games on devices, esp. during COVID, beyond "Go outside and do something else."

Art use
Students use it to take photos of their artworks. Some use it for research when they forget their chromebooks. Sometimes when at work they can listen to their music. They are not to use it any other time.

# data[].attributes.body
Sometimes computers are uncharged and the chargers are in the homeroom class not where we are (lab)

# data[].attributes.body
Laptops are away unless requested. Students have been cooperative so far. I have not noticed any misuse of cell phones.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing I've noticed is groups of SIS boys loudly playing games on phones (and not socially distanced) in the hallways. Tempting for younger students.

# data[].attributes.body
Students are not familiar with feedback on managebac.

# data[].attributes.body
I was the homeroom teacher  for this grade last year, and thought the boys in the class had good, healthy friendship groups. Some of this was based on playing online games together. It seemed to enhance their friendships and to be quite positive.

EDIT: Not during lessons of course. Before school.

# data[].attributes.body
Students sometimes use phones during break times to relax and bond through games etc. (we recently had a class wide game of Among Us during lunch). During COVID it's really been a good way to encourage that they maintain distance and still form a community. I think that as long as their tech use is not interfering with their socialization I think it's really positive.

I'd like to advocate for our introverted students. The world incentivizes extroversion. But some students need to plug out of what can be an extremely overwhelming external environment (via headphones).

We also have students who experience anxiety and need silence or calming noises. There aren't very many quiet, calming places at school.
