Managing Students' Technology Use: Strategies for Reducing Distractions and Boosting Focus in the Classroom with Emily Cherkin
Description
Struggling with Students’ Technology Use in the Classroom? You’re Not Alone.
In this episode of The Balanced Educator Podcast, we dive into the challenges of managing students' use of smartphones and devices, especially in middle and high school. While technology can be a powerful classroom tool, it often becomes a major distraction.
We interview Emily Cherkin, The Screentime Consultant, an internationally recognized expert with a Master’s in Education. With over 15 years of experience working with families and schools, Emily helps educators and parents move from tech-overwhelmed to tech-intentional. She has been featured on The Today Show, Good Morning America, and in The New York Times.
Emily shares practical strategies to help teachers regain control of tech in the classroom, making it a productive tool for learning rather than a source of distraction.
