I have noticed that school's have started to limit ads and pop ups through their wi-fi that way when students are connected to the internet they can only access educational and appropriate websites. If this is not already being used in your school I would most definitely recommend it as a start in the right direction.

I think that this is easily going to happen because there is things that the students would rather do than listen to the teacher or do their work you assigned. The best way to limit these distractions is for one, make sure that you are walking around the room to check what students are doing if they are using a computer. This might help limit some of the other activities they decide to. Also, there are resources out there that when you get all the students in the system, it allows you to see what they are doing on their screen. When I was in middle school, the teachers had access to our screens and it limited distractions and things a whole lot.

One way to lessen the distractions of these pop-up ads and displays is to look at the websites and resources that you will be using in advance. Some websites have more pop-up ads on their display than others, so I would suggest accessing the website perhaps a couple of times prior to allowing your students to access it to ensure that it is a website with no or few pop-up ads. However, this will limit the resources you can use. It is important to remember that distractions are inevitable. Students have been struggling with balancing distractions even before technology was introduced into the classroom. There is no perfect way to manage those distractions.

I think that one way to limit distractions is just by making it clear what you expect from the students and making sure that, as the teacher, you have went through this particular website or software so that you can see what, if any, type of distractions that can come from it. If you know what to expect, you can help prepare your students and set standards. There was also something that my school used when we were all on computers and it made it to where the teachers monitor could see every students screen. It made it so that the teacher could monitor us and make sure we were not misusing the technology and not getting distracted.

This is something I also worry about in an upper level classroom because they have a lot more knowledge on how to use technology. I think that distractions are bound to happen at some point but to limit them there are a couple of options you could do. You can download GoGuardian and monitor exactly what your students are doing. This allows you to stay on the students that are straying from the work they need to do. You can also make technology seem as a reward, that way students are not going to abuse their privilege by getting off what they are supposed to be on. This way they want to stay on track and keep their technology reward.

One solution to this issue is taking away technology rights from a student (or students) if they continue to click on random things/stray away from their work. Technology is a privilege in the classroom and should treated as such. Another solution is to use a monitoring software in order to see current time what students are doing and stay on top of whether or not they are on task.

In my classroom I would try to limit the amount of technology the students use. The students already use a lot of technology so I think its good if they don't use it in the classroom all the time. I would try to make sure that the kids work together to solve any problem before they just go and look it up. I think that teaches them team working and problem solving without technology.

As a future educator, you can help limit these distractions by first looking at the websites, checking for ads, and approving the website yourself first before letting your students access them. If you look at a website and you don't approve of the ads or pop-ups, it would be best to not let your students use the website. There are always alternate activities to replace technology that are just as effective.

Taking away technology when the class is misbehaving may help with them being more on task the next time they use computers. Another option is to control what the kids can see on their screen. When working on an essay, students can use a full-screen mode writing program like Ommwriter on their computer to reduce distractions.

A great website I recommend using to show educational videos is Edpuzzle. This way, students have to watch a video to answer the questions based on the video. By this, it records what is being completed for you, as the teacher to see. This way, you can tell who is being distracted and need to look more at while using a computer, compared to those that you can see have completed their work. Overall, you could also do check-ups on the students by asking them where they are at in the activity provided.

I also am worried about not being able to prevent distractions in the future. I have thought of ways to limit technology in the classroom to eliminate this, but technology is so present now that it is hard; however, there is a website that my teachers in middle school used called GoGuardian that I think could help. This website allows the teacher to see the students' screens on their computer so that they know if they're doing the right thing or not. It even lets the teachers close students' tabs from their own computer. I have thought a lot about this website and how useful it could be in my future classroom and I hope it might be useful to you!

While students can easily get distracted, as teachers we can also make it clear of what we expect from them. From my experience, when I was in 7th grade, we were old enough to understand how to behave. Setting standards is important, you could suggest that screen time will be limited for the day if the students lose focus.

I have been observing 7th graders in the classroom this semester. The main issue I have seen with technology is students become easily distracted. This can be through ads, pop-ups, screen displays, etc.

As a future educator, how can I help limit these distractions?
