Today’s Distractions Impeding 
Your Child's Academic Success 
Today’s Distractions Impeding 
Your Child's Academic Success
 New technology opens up 
doors to interactive learning 
 Technology can be a wonderful tool when 
used in classrooms or to aid learning 
 However, use of devices for personal reasons 
during classes or while studying 
can break academic focus
Daily Frequency of Device Use in Class 
for Non-Class Purposes 
Top actions performed on devices by students include: 
texting, social networking, web surfing, and e-mailing. 
Top reasons for students using their devices include: 
"staying connected" and "avoiding boredom."
A study published by Elsevier observed 263 middle school, high school and 
university students studying for 15 minutes in their homes and found: 
 Students who switched tasks the most 
had more distracting technologies available 
 Students who accessed Facebook while studying 
had lower GPAs than those who avoided it 
 Students with relatively high use of study 
strategies are more likely to stay on-task
