The same principles apply inside the classroom. In order for the classroom to be a great learning environment for students, it needs to have organization and order.
Technology may have advantages and disadvantages but on making strong decisions and execution of plans, always acknowledge what the teachers are saying as they say it. Sit back and understand what needs to be understood. Ask a lot of questions when needed, this will let the teacher know that you are interested, but make sure your question is relevant and ethical.
It is also important for you to try your best to avoid any distractions that could cause you to lose focus. Another good habit is to take notes or use good body language and posture of your own to let the teacher know you are listening. Following directions and listening is one of the main aspects of being in a classroom and it is what the teacher will expect from you. If you use these skills and be attentive it will help you to be successful in school. Also you can prevent from any consequences that may be given to you or your classmates.
