This resource addresses the misuse of smartphones and other mobile technology in a range of contexts in and out of the school environment. While mobile devices clearly have significant educational uses and benefits, they are also frequently misused. These question-based discussion cards encourage students to think about and reflect on both the appropriate use and misuse of mobile technology. In addition, using the cards provides an opportunity to establish a considered and agreed set of ground rules to ensure appropriate behaviour is adopted in a consensual way.
