Not really - before, the policy was that a student could have a phone on them, as long as they weren't using it.
I had to present to the principal and pitch it to a district committee before the policy was changed. Even now, students are allowed to use their phones in class only with this app (or another teacher-approved app).
- forgingahead 14y agoWell done! Congrats on getting this built, but also approved by the school officials. Coding is hard, and it's great that you can do that, but the key development here was convincing the principal to change the policy so well done on that! I like the idea of the electronic hall pass that changes colour -- probably helped convince the principal to change the policy since that's a direct benefit to the school admin. What concerns did they raise, and what do you think helped convince them?
