Lexi's Classroom

Cell Phones

Pros

Safety/Comfort

Cons

Distraction

Classroom Use

On the spot research, or use in case of an emergency

Rationale

It is the students' property, and can be had as long as they follow classroom rules.

Homework

Pros

Applying the knowledge on their own

Cons

Takes away from extracurricular activities/ family time

Classroom Use

Taking what we learned in class, and being able to apply that on their own

Rationale

Students will not have homework every night, but will have a project or an assignment where they will have to do some extra work at home for their personal topics of choice for the designated due date.

Personal Choice for Student Seating

Pros

Student vulnerability and comfort

Cons

Distracting and does not allow them to meet new people

Classroom Use

Students will have to be fully engaged in lectures, but are able to work with a partner on some activities.

Rationale

Students can choose where they would like to sit as long as they follow classroom rules. There will be activities where they are forced to expand on who they typically work with.
