SFCxUS Invited to Speak About Phones in Schools at Yale Education Leadership Conference
SFCxUS was invited to participate in the Yale Education Leadership Conference several weeks ago on a panel entitled "Technology in Schools: Should Cell Phones Stay or Go?" Leadership Council member Emily Boddy represented us, speaking powerfully about the academic and social benefits available to students at bell-to-bell phone-free schools.
