text: Providing students with the option of attending classes from home will reduce the amount of distractions they face. In the school building, students experience interruptions or distractions during class every day. Often times, the disruption is caused by peers talking loudly to one another. Students enjoy seeing their friends in classes so they will begin conversing, but pretty soon they'll become too chatty and the teacher has to pause her instructions in order to tell the select group of students to quiet down. This effects everyone in the classroom, including the teacher. The select group of students who were talking are distracted because they're too busy chatting instead of focusing on the lesson. The rest of the students in the classroom are also faced with disruption because their learning has been interrupted. If students were to attend class through video conferencing, then this would reduce the amount of talking going on because students will be alone. This allows students to focus all of their attention onto the teacher and the lesson that is being taught. Another popular distraction in the classroom is the abuse of cell phone usage by students. Most students have their phones in their pocket or on top of their desk during class. As soon as they receive a notification, they're tempted to check their phones. Teachers have to continually tell students to put their phones away because this derails their attention from the teacher and the lecture or instructions that are being given. Through video conferencing, teachers will be able to see the student's surroundings and work space at all times, so the student will be less inclined to check their device and devote more of their attention to the teacher's instructions.
