Objective

Help educators build clear, consistent, and realistic classroom practices around screen use. This training supports teachers, school teams, and leaders in creating shared language, practical norms, and ready-to-use strategies that balance learning, attention, digital tools, and student well-being.

The goal is not to reject technology in the classroom. The goal is to use digital tools with more intention, reduce unnecessary distractions, and help students develop healthier habits around devices, notifications, platforms, and learning routines.

Who it is for

• Teachers, department teams, school leaders, and educational staff working with students from elementary school to high school, CEGEP, college, or university.
• Schools looking for consistent classroom norms around devices, notifications, messaging, and digital platforms.
• School service centres, boards, or districts seeking to align staff practices with student well-being and healthy digital habits.
• Educators who want practical strategies to reduce off-task behavior, support attention, and make digital tools easier to manage in class.

Expected outcomes

• A shared vocabulary around attention, cognitive load, multitasking myths, digital fatigue, and healthy screen-use habits.
• Clearer classroom norms for devices, messaging, notifications, and platform use, including when, why, and how screens should be used.
• A more nuanced approach to educational technology, with tools selected to support learning rather than fragment attention.
• Practical strategies to reduce off-task behavior, improve transitions, and protect focused learning time.
• Better alignment between classroom expectations, homework routines, family communication, evening screen use, and sleep-friendly habits.

Format

• Delivery: In-person, virtual, or hybrid.
• Duration: 90 to 180 minutes, with a modular format that can be adapted to your needs.
• Group size: From department-level sessions to school-wide professional development, depending on format and venue.
• Languages: English and/or French.

Core modules

• Attention and learning: cognitive load, multitasking costs, digital fatigue, and lesson design for focus.
• Device norms in class: when to use screens, when to go analog, and how to reduce unnecessary notifications.
• Pedagogical tools: choosing platforms and digital activities that minimize switching and maximize learning time.
• Classroom routines: start and close rituals, timed work blocks, distraction plans, accountability, and transition strategies.
• Home-school alignment: practical guidance around homework, evening boundaries, sleep, and parent communication.

Practice and materials

• Classroom checklists for device norms, notification rules, focus routines, and digital expectations.
• Ready-to-use templates, including a device policy one-pager, parent communication sample, and student commitment tool.
• Practical prompts and examples educators can adapt directly to their classroom or subject area.
• Optional anonymous pulse survey before or after the session, with a short post-session brief for staff.

Measurement and follow-up

• Quick pre/post pulse to assess perceived focus, classroom disruptions, transition challenges, and after-hours digital load.
• Simple indicators to track over time, such as off-task incidents, transition time, notification interruptions, or late-evening messaging patterns.
• Optional 2–4 week check-in to adjust norms, review what is working, and support implementation.

Pricing

From $749 for a standard 90-minute virtual training at the department level. Final investment may vary depending on delivery mode, duration, group size, customization, and event needs. In-person delivery may be available, with travel or venue costs billed at cost when applicable.
