Limiting Cell Phones in Schools and the Responsible Use of Technology: Jake Morabito in The Washington Times

“State policymakers and school administrators should take note that limiting student cellphone use is only part of the solution, not a silver bullet."

ALEC Senior Director of Policy Jake Morabito was quoted on state and local efforts limiting cell phone use in classrooms and responsible use of technology in The Washington Times.

“State policymakers and school administrators should take note that limiting student cellphone use is only part of the solution, not a silver bullet,” said Jake Morabito, the council’s senior director for policy.

“In addition to removing distractions from the classroom, educators and parents must teach and emphasize responsible use of the internet, smart devices, and new digital tools like artificial intelligence that will be mandatory for success in future careers,” Mr. Morabito added.
