Texting, emails, and social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Snapchat)

Phone: See #1

3. When you see students in class using their computer and phone, what are they using it for?
Pretty much the same as what I use mine for.

4. Have you ever used your phone/computer in class for things that didn't pertain to school? And if so, how often?

Both

6. Can you go a day without using your cell phone or computer? If you couldn't, how would that make you feel?
I could, but I would probably be very fidgety and might feel disconnected (literally).

7. Do you feel discontent and anxious when you are unable to check your email or social media?
Probably only for a fixed amount of time, then I’d get over it. I’m pretty close to deleted most social media.

8. Has there ever been times that you felt that social media is bombarding your life?
Not really

9. How often do you check your social media and what do you primarily use it for?
Multiple times a day, when I’m bored
