With our ever increasing use of technology, it was only a matter of time before the use/overuse of devices spawned its own affliction:  Phantom Vibration Syndrome.  Those suffering from this condition have a recurring false belief that they feel their phone vibrate with no actual incoming call.  While this condition might not be very widespread, research indicates that many adults and students are struggling to manage the daily use of their devices that demand more and more attention .  Without clear objectives for integration in the classroom, students are in danger of losing focus on the task at hand because they are too distracted with the technology.  Join Glenn as he  shares ideas that will help students and teachers achieve that perfect balance and avoid becoming tech rich crazy people.
