Tips for How to Manage Student Screen Time Distractions

  • Strict filters alone don’t teach students how to self-regulate.
  • Good classroom management strategies should apply in digital spaces too.
  • AI can nudge students back on task rather than just blocking access.
  • Digital classroom management should mirror real-world best practices.
