CELL PHONES AND LEARNING - AN ADMINISTRATOR’S
PERSPECTIVE
Dr. Linda Stroud – GHS Principal

THE PROBLEM Cell phone usage by students had
become a HUGE behavioral issue at GHS and was overwhelming the discipline policy.
![Page 6: Using Cellular Devices as Learning tools Greeneville High School Greeneville, TN Dr. Linda Stroud, GHS Principal Beverly Miller, Greeneville City Schools](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f565503460f94c7a365/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
THE SOLUTION Use cell phones as learning tools! Use them to our advantage to motivate
students for learning and as a reward. Set and enforce reasonable
consequences that have the desired effect.

THE RESULTS It works! Cell phones are no longer a behavior
issue at GHS. Approximately 900 students x 4 periods per day
x 120 school days = 432,000 opportunities for cell phone policy violation! However,
To date at GHS for the 2008-2009 school year: ONLY 148 cell phones have been taken from
students by teachers for policy violation 35 of those students elected to leave their cell
phone in the school office for 7 days 103 students elected to pay a $20 fine for the
return of their cell phone $2060 have been collected in fines!
