Cell Phones in school (some articles) / extras: learningEnglish-free.com & 4 minute reads (BBC)

Your Teachers are Tired of Seeing Your Cell Phones
-via EstoniaLeopards.com-
Kesha Palmer , Student News Reporter
May 15, 2018
‘Too many teenagers feel as if they only need one thing to get through their day, and that thing is their smartphone. Some teenagers use their phones responsibly during school hours and keep it in their bag on silent and don’t let it distract them while teachers are talking. Then there are the other students who are completely disrespectful and have it out at all time playing on it and more. Not all teachers are the same with their rules, some have very strict policies on phones and some are very lenient when it comes to phones. However, when a teacher has resorted to taking a student’s phone into company, the frustration is very apparent on their faces. The teachers are authorized by the school board to decide their policy regarding cell phones in class.’

Schools Say No to Cellphones in Class. But Is It a Smart Move?
-via Edweek.org-
By Alyson Klein — September 06, 2019
‘Students at Minerva High School in Ohio retrieve their cellphones after an English class. They must store their phones before class starts.
Students at Minerva High School in Ohio retrieve their cellphones after an English class. They must store their phones before class starts.

Sexting. Cyberbullying. Googling test answers. Taking a picture of a quiz and sending it to friends who have the same class later in the day. Paying more attention to Instagram notifications than biology class.
Smartphones have transformed the way we communicate, but there’s no question they can be a major headache for teachers and administrators.
That’s why a flurry of schools have recently put in place restrictions or bans on students’ use of cellphones in school. The changes represent a pivot away from the more open student cellphone policies that districts instituted in previous years. But not everyone thinks the new restrictions are a step in the right direction.’

How to Deal with Cell Phones in School

-via wgu.edu-

by Nancy Barile, Award-Winning Teacher, M.A.Ed.

‘Here’s The Good, The Bad and The Solution for cell phone usage in the classroom.
There’s no bigger classroom distraction than a student using a phone. Teachers struggle with cell phones in school on a daily basis. On one hand, teachers want students to learn how to manage their phones on their own. On the other hand, the distraction phones create can be detrimental to both students and teachers. Power struggles ensue, wasting valuable class time. Because of this, teachers need practical and enforceable strategies for dealing with phones in their classrooms’

Reminder: 7 tips and recommendations + EXTRA: TOEFL listening

30 October 2020

twitter: @eugenio_fouz

Reminder: 7 tips for the newcomers 

1/ have a look at Hoja del Alumno

2/ get student´s material ready: book, dictionary, bloc or notebook, pens and photocopies (Parallel Papers pack, WORDS). A cell phone may be useful only occasionally

3/ it is a good idea to get these copies printed on paper: WORDS and Parallel Papers -PPA-

4/ visit Aula Virtual -AV / @moodle- very often

5/ see the structure of Aula Virtual: urgent section / lessons / information / miscellaneous / focus on diversity

The 3 elements in every lesson:
a-contenidos (theory)
b-recursos complementarios (practice)
c-tareas (practice and homework)

Click on the links (enlaces), the videos, audios, vocabulary and grammar syllabus, reading, oral assessment, notebook, WORDS, advice, GIFs, practice, MESSAGE, etcetera

6/ read BOARD class papers (usually PDF, portable document format) to see what we have done in previous classes: examples, grammar, words, tasks

7/ learn about the rules on attending classes from home: connect your web cam, turn off your microphone (turn the microphone on for speaking only). There are two shifts: be in the real classroom at school or stay in the classroom online. Respect this!

Lartigue -vía Paolo-streito1264 on @tumblr-

The font I have chosen to keep surnames and names on an excel list is Andale Mono, size 10. Easy to read, light.

All names on the list are obviously fictitious. I wish I had had Tom Wolfe in my classes. On second thoughts, I see him as a teacher of journalism or literature to me
