Summary | In the light of statistics saying that people who look at their smartphones more than 60 times a day are at risk of being addicted, teacher Claudia Senn consciously incorporates smartphone use in her class. She lets students research things on their smartphones in class and lets them listen to music while doing individual exercises in class. While she cannot fully control how students use their devices, she thinks it is important to learn about all the affordances of this new omnipresent technology.
