Case: Cell Phones
I am an intern in a high school EBD classroom. The students have great difficulty putting their cell phones away, and often ignore me the asked or take it right back out. We are not supposed to confiscate the phones. What should I do to get them to put their phones away?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I have always liked the idea of keeping a basket in a common area of the classroom to ask students to place their phones into at the beginning of the class. You could also integrate extrinsic motivation by rewarding the students who put their phones into the basket or do not pull them out during class. Before sending the student(s) with a referral to the office, you could bring this issue to the attention of the parents or caregivers first. There are parental controls that can be placed on phones during school hours. If they can't use the phone's functions during class, then they will not be as inclined to take them out. |

Comments: I think that this is a great idea. not only does it reduce the amount of students using their phones, but it also motivates them through extrinsic motivation to not have the desire to use their phones either. |

Comments: I love the idea of a phone bucket. I am a musical theatre director, and we have used a "phone jail" during rehearsals to accomplish the same goal. |
