Mobile phones have revolutionised the way people communicate and connect with each other. However, in the classroom, mobile phones have become a major distraction for students, leading to a decline in academic performance and social interactions. In response, many schools have implemented policies that prohibit students from using their phones during school hours.
As of Term 4 2023, NSW High Schools will follow in the footsteps of schools in South Australia, the Northern Territory, Victoria and Western Australia and ban mobile phone use during class, recess and lunch times.
However, enforcing these policies has proven to be a challenge for teachers and administrators. This is where lockable phone pouches come in. Lockable phone pouches are a new classroom management tool that has been gaining popularity in schools across the country.
These phone pouches offer several benefits to both teachers and students. They help to eliminate distractions as students are not tempted to check their phones during class, which can improve their focus and concentration. This can then lead to improved academic outcomes and a safer learning environment.
When students are not distracted by their phones, they are more likely to engage in classroom activities and participate in discussions during lunch breaks and recess times
With lockable phone pouches, teachers no longer have to constantly remind students to put away their phones or confiscate them for the duration of class which can help to streamline classroom procedures.
Phones are secured at the beginning of the day or lesson and opened only using a supplied magnetic base which can be secured in a location of your convenience.
Lockable phone pouches are a simple and easy-to-use solution that can be implemented in any classroom. They do not require any special training or equipment and can be purchased at an affordable price and custom branded for your school.
