Allowing students to securely store their phones will alleviate concerns about safety and increase student engagement! A few years ago I collected all cell phones at the door and securely locked them up until the end of class. The difference in student engagement was incredible with the distraction of their phones removed. Many students told me that they were relieved to not have their phones during class because it allowed them to focus better. I am no longer able to collect phones, but I can offer an alternative; the cell phone locker! I would like to equip my class with the locker and locks ensuring safety of the phones and relieving any student concerns about the safety of their phones.
