I agree technology will be a distraction, but I think it is just a substitute for other distractions that students always seem to do. Talking to friends, drawing instead of taking notes, etc.

Although technology may be a distraction to some students, it may also be more beneficial than anything else for other students. No matter what teaching method that is used, every student is different so what may work for some may not work for others. I think as long as you incorporate other forms of teaching in your lessons that fits the needs of every student, you shouldn't have any problems!:) Great question!!

I agree that technology has the ability to be distraction, but there is a balance to find between distraction and great benefits for the students' learning.

I agree, although students are told they cannot use the technologies given to goof around, they find different ways to stay off topic. iPads given to students gives them access to cameras which can cause them to still get distracted. They allow all these little apps that teachers do not notice will distract them.

I do agree with this concern but also I believe it falls on us as teachers to control it. Use the technology for educational purposes only and monitor them closely. Have a good management between using technology and not using it.
