One Cornell professor gave her students an analog assignment. They needed to learn how to use a typewriter vs. their computers.

The result?

Learning to do one thing at a time:
* Feeding the paper
* Striking one key/letter at a time with a precise force
* Manual return
* Correcting mistakes painstakingly (no auto-correct)

The takeaway was students thinking more clearly, free of distractions. The lesson reverberated into how they interacted with the world, away from technology and their phones.

As school is starting - please remind all students to be kind to one another!

Paul & Thompson: Young people should be taught how to handle conflict without cruelty, repair a relationship, reach out when someone feels alone.

" ... 41% of educators said conflict most often originates on social media, with group chats and texting accounting for another 17%....By the time a student walks through the school door in the morning, whatever happened in the group chat or online the night before has already taken root."
