Distracted by Devices Lesson Plan

Teachers will understand how student device use affects attention and behavior, explore research-based strategies to mitigate digital distractions, and collaboratively design classroom practices for more focused, engaged learning.

Digital devices can both support and disrupt learning. Helping teachers manage device-related distractions fosters deeper student engagement, improves classroom behavior, and promotes a more productive learning environment.
