""The guided use of smartphones with the appropriate app outperformed all other combinations, including the paper study and the banning of the smartphones.""
Broward County has implemented a complete ban on cellphone use in schools, contrasting with Palm Beach County, which allows restricted usage, and Miami-Dade, where phones can be used for academic purposes. A recent study by University of Miami's Paul A. Pavlou reveals that guided smartphone use in classrooms can significantly improve student performance, bridging achievement gaps. Students demonstrated a 26% performance increase when smartphones were used with specific educational apps, as opposed to unrestricted use, which led to a notable decline in performance. This suggests that a strategic approach to technology in education is more beneficial than outright bans.
