We open the episode with a funny listener story (which also proves we have a listener!) and then Jordan shares the exciting news that she will soon be interviewed for the Morton 709 school district podcast, CareU, to share more about the Wait Until 8th initiative. Helen talks about when she is her most focused self as well as how her focus and attention have changed since becoming a mom. We define the term “attention fragmentation” using a quote from author Nicholas Carr. Helen shares some of her intentions for student device use in her upcoming courses at Illinois State and Illinois Wesleyan. Jordan shares her perspective on how students’ attention/focus are negatively impacted by smartphone use. Jordan also shares a device use issue that came up with her kindergartener and how she has made changes to help him. And make sure to listen to the very end of the episode to hear a very unplanned but very sweet distraction. Questions? Corrections? Stories? Ideas? Send us an email at [email protected]
