In most classes, students have to put their smartphones away while in class. Not so for students in Bob Kuschel’s science classes at the Crosby-Ironton High School. Kuschel has allowed students to use their smartphones in class for three years and finds them to be an effective tool in the students’ studies. Kuschel said students can’t use their smartphones during a lecture, but they can use them for class assignments and lab experiments. For instance, he’s had students use their smartphones to take videos of their lab experiments. Students can review their experiment and find ways to make it experiment better.
