On your syllabus or on the first day of the semester, you might have set a policy on the student use of technology in the classroom: smartphones, tablets, laptops, and even artificial intelligence tools. The approach of spring break provides an opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of those policies and see whether they need revision. In this virtual session, we wll consider the implications of different approaches to technology policies in the classroom, and how they might impact student behavior and learning. A simple survey tool, designed by the Kaneb Center, will be offered to help check in with your students at the mid-point of the semester and spark a conversation about your policies and the reasoning behind them.
