• #3: Welcome to the sessionFill out the evaluationEnjoy your time at EMS World Expo
• #4: Value of smartphones …. Very personal for me.Managed to drop my weight from 188 to 173. In large part due to awareness that came from calorie tracking. Helped change my diet, lowered what I ate and awareness of where calories were coming from changed a lot of behaviors No salad dressingLess beerLess ice creamMore fruits and vegetablesMore nuts Tracked everything for 30 days … apply that OCD to anything and anything is possible. Probably could have done it without the app, but it sure helped … especially to have app available on all of my devices (phone, Kindle Fire, Desktop)

• #23: Ask audience, what is the worst case scenario for allowing students to have a smartphone, tablet, or other device during class? Broaden definition of what constitutes a class … where, when, what … get specific … what does it look and feel like?

• #33: Pick my battles very carefully, win the battles I pick
• #34: Only adopt policies that you can and want to enforce. Stolen ambulance prevention … locking the ambulance when you are not in it. Policies should be for things that matter.
• #35: World is full of distractions. Disastrous to try to control them all. Distraction is a timeless problem. Role of teacher is to keep students engaged with worthwhile activities, age/skill/knowledge appropriate instructions, timely feedback, regular assessment, and breaks to re-energize.
• #36: Lecture is a very ineffective education method. Without creating/facilitating distraction students will distract on their own
• #37: Student is responsible for their performance and accomplishment. Life is full of logical consequences.

• #57: Smartphone use during breaks … Replaced with phone/online activitiesInformal time for material review, personal care, and relationship building … replaced with smartphone and online activities that may at best prevent accomplishment of other important needs and may at worse be mental and physically draining and even depressing.
• #58: You think phones are bad. They don’t even make my top 3. DogsKidsPizza delivery to adjacent room
• #59: Not a disruption until you define it a disruption, label it as a disruption, and reinforce that as a disruption. People, much like dogs, respond to positive and negative re-enforcement. Ignoring a behavior
• #60: Since we can’t likely overcome ingrained habits, brain wiring, and addictive behavior how can we be intentional about using in and out of the classroom. Use as a force for good, rather than a nefarious tool of interrupting and distracting evil.
