Answer:
Let me begin this essay by making two points quite clear. First, I am not suggesting that any other professors follow my practice of taking students’ cellphones in class. Second, and related to that, professors have a wide variety of reasons to want students to have their cellphones.
Some believe that students should learn to self-regulate (or even sink or swim, depending on one’s perspective), often reminding them that “this isn’t high school.” Others find that students can and do use cellphones in productive ways in their courses -- whether by looking up information and resources on the spot or through live Twitter feeds, to name a few.
That said, something changed in my classes and me that has led me to take away students’ cellphones. For years, I did what many professors do: I made vague warnings about cellphones, explaining to students that their distraction would cause them to do worse in the course than if they were more focused. At times, I became so bothered that I would call students out during class, though I would usually try to say something to them away from most students, often when they were in groups doing work. But one event caused me to finally adjust my approach completely.
I was teaching a first-year writing course during the spring semester, a time when our weaker students usually enroll. Students were making presentations on their second papers, so I was sitting in the back of the room where I could observe their delivery. I noticed one student, sitting near the front of the classroom, react quite vividly, even making a slight noise, during one of the presentations. It wasn’t a point in the presentation where he should have been surprised or had any other reaction, so I was puzzled, but I couldn’t see what might have caused the problem.
After the presentations, I moved to the front of the room to talk about the students’ next paper, and he reacted again. This time, I saw that he was looking at his phone. It was March, and the madness was in full swing. I took his phone from him until the end of class.
In thinking about where to go from there, I knew I could simply take students’ phones any time they caused some sort of disruption like that. But for several reasons, I went further and decided to have students turn in their phones at the beginning of every class.
In practical terms, what I have is a poster board at the front of the classroom with their names on it. The students leave their phones in the spot with their name when they come in; thus, I can quickly check attendance using the board. From time to time, a student will forget to drop off their phone, and I simply remind them without any type of guilt-inducing comment, and everything is fine.
