I have gone back to almost 100% handwritten notebooks in class for student work the last few years and phones in a phone locker. The increase in student learning and betterment of their social skills has been phenomenal.

Same. I've also been toying with creating a media literacy unit and am now thinking this needs to evolve into an LLM-literacy unit.

Funny how pens and papers make humans act human. As I used to tell my students when you write, with your hand, it becomes a part of you.

They definitely learn more and retain information better. It also cuts down significantly on cheating and is easier for them to keep organized. They are just overall more engaged. It’s been great. We were all so burned out on tech after being online for a year.
