Our HS banned cell phones this year from the time school starts until the final bell. It’s the best thing ever. Students talk to each other at lunch. Teachers don’t have to make their own rules about phones in class. Can’t imagine going back. Even the kids get it. #nophoneschool
In a recent Harvard study, students spent 11 weeks listening to lectures in physics courses.
Half then continued with lectures while the other half switched to active learning.
The result? The active learning group scored 10 points higher on tests.
