Teacher Tapp @teachertapp.bsky.social · 30/09/2025
Many schools have strict rules on mobile phones. But what do teachers actually experience day to day? 🤔 We teamed up with @innerdrive.bsky.social on InnerTapp #2, looking at the gap between what’s written in policy and what really happens in the classroom 👇 bit.ly/46LNmME

Mobile Phones in Schools | InnerTapp
Often, school mobile phone policies miss the mark. Rules are tightened, but teachers still battle constant disruptions, while students find ways to sneak phones into lessons. Schools need policies that are practical, enforceable, and proven to reduce distractions. We've teamed up with Teacher Tapp to explore the disconnect between policy and classroom reality. Join us as we ask, are schools ready to act on what the evidence and teachers’ experiences clearly show? With InnerTapp: What Teachers Know. What Studies Show.

To the replies of ‘this study states the obvious’. People say that as if it’s a bad thing. That’s EXACTLY why we need research. Because we are filled with cognitive biases and common sense isn’t very common. Easy to get caught up in group think.

The response to this has been interesting… 🟡 Twitter: we need to focus on how to help students think hard (I agree ✅) 🔵 Blue Sky: we need oral assessment (I disagree ❌) 🔴 LinkedIn: this is a weak study/we need more AI training/this shows how AI can be good for learning (I cringe a little bit 🙄)

New research from MIT found that those who used ChatGPT can’t remember any of the content of their essays. Key takeaway: the product doesn’t suffer, but the process does. And when it comes to essays, the process *is* how they learn. arxiv.org/pdf/2506.088...
