In episode 75 of Edtech Conversations, Lucas and Luna explore how schools are turning to technology to solve the problem of cellphone distraction in classrooms. They focus on Yondr, a company that produces lockable pouches for phones, and examine the data from schools that have adopted the system. Lucas shares that some schools report a 30 percent drop in disciplinary incidents after implementing the pouches, while Luna questions whether banning phones is the right long-term strategy. They also discuss alternative approaches, such as classroom management software that limits phone usage during class time, and consider the broader implications for student engagement and digital literacy. The conversation is grounded in real examples from middle schools in Oregon and high schools in New York. This episode offers a balanced look at a contentious issue facing educators today: how to manage technology in a world where students are never without their devices. #Yondr #CellphoneBan #ClassroomTech #StudentEngagement #DigitalDistraction #SchoolDiscipline #PhonePouches #Edtech #K12 #EducationPolicy #ClassroomManagement #OregonSchools #NYCSchools #ScreenTime #StudentWellness #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #EdtechConversations Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
