  Case: Not disruptive, but not attentive. Cellphones in classrooms.
You have students in your classroom who are not behavioral issues or sleepers, but they are not attentive to the lesson. The student would rather play on their cellphone or text friends then get engaged. How would you address this issue without turning the issue into a confrontational conversation? Is it worth addressing this student at the expense of losing the rest of the class?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would make a policy that phones are not allowed in the classroom, unless they are being used for an activity. With that being said, I would try to make lessons or classroom quizzes that the students can use their phones for. I think this would help them to be engaged and not get bored.

Comments: I agree with this solution. Giving students opportunities to use their phones for lessons and quizzes gives them a way to pay attention because the phone has lesson material on screen.
