Abstract	Technology classrooms provide a valuable educational environment; however, they may also create distractions for students different from a regular classroom. Distractions can result from activities students do themselves or they can be caused by other students in the classroom. Where students sit in the classroom can also have an impact. Students in the back of the classroom report more distractions from texting and online gaming. Students who are more distracted indicate it is harder to pay attention in a lab classroom as opposed to a regular classroom. Distractions, especially texting, have a negative impact on the learning environment which reduces a student's ability to learn important technology and research skills. Finally, distractions show a negative association with overall course grade. (As Provided).
