What Your Phone Policy Cannot Do: The Friction Audit

Senate Bill 2427 requires Illinois districts to manage student devices, but restricting phones alone does not ensure engagement or learning. Standard device bans often overlook how 1:1 tech and AI enable work shortcuts, or create new barriers for students needing accommodations. This workshop uses Micah Miner's pedagogical friction framework to help district teams design effective policies. Participants will evaluate phone storage, enforcement, equity, family communication, and AI integration to strengthen decision-making whether adopting or updating device rules. Live online and on demand (recorded). Fees: members $179; non-members $228 (includes one year of membership); 2 people $218 each; 3 people $208 each; students/retirees $99.
