AI is changing how students learn, but it doesn’t have to replace real thinking. Project based learning gives schools a way forward by focusing on creativity, collaboration, and problem solving rather than memorizing facts. When students build meaningful projects, they show their process, use AI responsibly, and develop skills that matter. It keeps learning human in an AI driven world.

Banning phones and digital tools from classrooms may feel like a simple fix for student distraction, but it risks disconnecting youth from how they actually learn and live. The real issue isn’t the device, it’s how it’s used. With proper training, support, and balance, educators can turn technology from a source of distraction into a bridge for curiosity, engagement, and essential digital skill-building.
