Cell Phones, Laptops and Facebook: What Can I Do About Them?

While making our lives easier, technology has also provided a number of new challenges in the classroom–particularly with cell phones, laptops and social networking sites.

Unfortunately, students are using these devices and technologies to take and make calls during class, record lectures, check their messages, and cheat on tests.

When it comes to effectively managing when, where and how these tools are related to classroom learning, faculty members need to be sufficiently informed on how to set clear expectations and enforce them.

In this Magna 20 Minute Mentor W. Scott Lewis, J.D., past-president of the Association for Student Conduct Administration (ASCA), draws on his experience as a faculty member and student affairs administrator to offer specific strategies to manage this challenge.

During this 20 minute professional development program, you will learn:

• The positive and negative challenges of teaching the Millennial Generation, the most technologically skilled and savvy generation ever.
• How to work with Millennials more effectively on the use of cell phones, laptops and Facebook.
• Considerations and factors involved in being a “friend” of a student on Facebook.
• How to set boundaries in communicating with students.

The program also includes supplemental materials that feature a sample syllabus statement (including classroom rules), and recommended resources.

Learning outcomes

• Better anticipate the interests of Millennials related to cell phone, laptop and Facebook® use.
