Short Session Description (one line): I am presenting one set of data from a longitudinal study exploring phone usage of 8th grade students at a local middle school. 

Full Session Description (as long as you would like):

I want to conduct a longitudinal study to explore the habits of phones and phone usage of students in 8th grade. I created a survey that covers topic such as information about their phones, their phone usage during school and their phone usage outside of school. I then surveyed 126 students anonymously and after the survey responses were scored by hand, the data was entered into a spreadsheet. I will analyze the data in my presentation and show the most interesting and useful phone usage trends among 8th grade students. These trends will be helpful to understand how kids are using their phones these days and how popular technology is getting.
