        ①When I was a university teacher in Ningbo, I told my students that it would be wise to keep their smartphones in their backpacks. They were young adults. I didn't want to take their property(财产), nor could I shout at them. You can guess what happened. Some students were polite, using their phones between activities. Others would rudely text(发短信)their friends during lessons, sometimes even while I talked to them individually. One young woman, K, openly played a game at her desk with earphones!

        ②l began to think my class was boring(probably true)and that my students hated me (I could understand). But what could I do? I couldn't fail every student. Maybe I was just being a crazy old person.

        ③With all the recent talks about banning(禁止)smartphones at schools, you might think I'm in favor. I'm actually not so sure. This technology isn't going away. Teachers probably need to adjust(调整)as much as students.

        ④I designed(设计)activities to force more participation, using pens and paper and moving around the room to talk to classmates. It kind of worked! I also found ways to use their phones. Things like research, translation and creative projects. I found that my students worked hardest on these activities.

        ⑤Phones might not be the biggest problem. Once, walking on campus, I saw K standing alone in the dark. I could see her face lit up by her mobile game. Maybe smartphone addiction(上瘾)at school is a sign of loneliness or a boring teacher.
