text: To determine whether this change is good or not depends on the question of "does this change enable students to learn more or less?" Personally, I find technology very distracting, and I'm sure teachers know this very well in their classroom environment. In our school, students are found scavenging any time to play on their phone whether appropriate or in appropriate. Video conferencing will intensify this problem. If you merge class time and technology, it's no secret what will happen. The student will likely find themselves doing something else more exciting than learning such as playing on their phone or hanging out with their friends. A teacher needs to be there one-on-one to establish boundaries to deter this behavior. Without this, even if they receive a punishment for it, distraction are simply more tempting when no one is physically there. By contrast, conventional schooling teaches people how to respect authority, and is more effective in discouraging students from distraction, a necessary lesson in achieving their goal as a contributing member of society.
