  Case: Smart Watch
The school has a strict no-phone policy within the classroom, and more than half of the students have an array of smartwatches, what should I do about this?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
You should allow the students to still wear their watches, but make sure the volume and all notification sounds are off. Have clear standards as to what you expect the usage of the watches to be in the room. If a student abuses the technology, speak with them individually and contact parents about the abuse of the technology in the classroom. If the problem continues, bring it up with your administration. But this matter should be handled in class first before bringing anyone else in

Comments: This might be the best solution. As you can decide what serves as a distraction in your class, it is best to try and resolve this type of situation yourself, before bringing it to administration.

Comments: Yes! Notifications are a distraction, but the watch may serve other helpful purposes. Setting boundaries, while still allowing the privilege is a good way to teach responsibility and trust.

Comments: I find this solution to be respectful and effective in creating a safe, and distraction free learning environment. If the school hasn't made a specific ban against smartwatches it is up to the teacher to create an effective classroom policy.
