My Project

Students are so distracted by their phones - despite the district's cell phone policy that phones should be off and put away during school hours. My school has chosen not to take students' cell phones because that can start even bigger problems. If teachers try to require students to place their phone in a pocket chart, students refuse, argue, or lie about having a phone to using the pocket chart.

Enter the Charging Station: while their beloved device gains charge, students are able to gain knowledge by actively participating in learning math.

By providing students with an opportunity to charge their phone using a charging station, I think students and teachers will both benefit. Students who choose to use the charging station would leave their phone charging for the entirety of the class period, as part of the "Charging Station" agreement. Students can ensure their phone is fully charged for after school, and teachers can have full attention from students.
