Mobile phone management for students
Most students nowadays have a smartphone. They are an important part of how we all communicate and find out information, but they are also inherently dangerous to a student’s ability to do well at school.
Smartphone usage can be addictive, cause concentration issues and create excessive stress. Research indicates that those who study in sight of their phone, even if they don’t use it, do 20% worse.
This workshop addresses these questions and will teach your students how to manage their smartphone smartly so that they can focus on their learning and success.
This workshop will teach your students about:
- The reality of excessive phone usage
- Good revision habits

- How to combat the stress caused by social media
