The cellphone policy a school or district enacts isn’t merely an administrative issue. It’s about creating learning environments in which students can thrive both academically and socially. Educators know best. K-12 educators, I want to hear from you → www.phonesinfocus.org

At Penn, Angela Duckworth studies how grit, self-control, and behavior change can predict individual success. To her, Penn Matters because Penn “cares about impact, cares about true scientific research at the highest level, cares about individuals, and cares about society."

My Penn colleague Dr. David Fajgenbaum is a case study in grit. You can hear how he saved his own life, and is now doing the same for others, on @reidhoffman.bsky.social's podcast Possible: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...

The next time you pick up your phone with intention, queue up this conversation from The @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social Show: “Zadie Smith on Populists, Frauds and Flip Phones” It’s a reminder: 📱 Tech habits shape more than our time; 🧠 They shape who we become.

We don’t rise to our goals — we fall to our systems. When it comes to digital wellness, small changes in your environment can make a big difference in your behavior. #DigitalWellness #BehavioralScience #Mindfulness #ProductivityTips #AttentionEconomy #PhonesInFocus #Psychology #Grit

AI in the classroom is not inherently good or bad — it depends on how we use it. Used mindlessly, AI becomes a crutch. Used wisely, it becomes a coach. #AIinEducation #FutureOfLearning #BehavioralScience #DigitalLiteracy #EdTech #MindfulTech

It’s not about pushing harder — it’s about shaping the situations that shape you. That’s what mindfulness looks like in the digital age.

In this time of rapid tech change, the most important voice in the classroom is yours. Teachers, help us understand how school phone policies affect learning. Take the 5-min Phones in Focus survey → phonesinfocus.org

Willpower is overrated. Change your environment, not just your intention. It’s called situation modification—and it works. 📵 Phone in another room 🌳 Go outside when bored 🛏️ No phone by the bed 🍽️ Off the dinner table

Willpower is overrated. Research shows real focus comes from changing your environment—not forcing it. It’s called situation modification. That’s why we launched Phones in Focus—to study how school phone policies shape student success. TEACHERS: take the survey → phonesinfocus.org

In an AI world, it’s easy to avoid effort. That’s why students need teachers more—to push them toward the hard things now that shape who they become later. #Education #AI #TeachingMatters #FutureOfLearning
