Learning in classrooms can distract students from learning (Thomas 1). “The student could have a learning disorder such as ADD or ADHD and they cannot focus on the task at hand.” (Adams 2007). By using virtual learning method the student can be more involved in their curriculum and learning. “The positive side of virtual learning is the ability to create high quality, responsive and engaging learning environments” (Topper, 2007; Thomas 1). By having a better learning environment the behavior of the student will increase and they will be more efficient if you change the environment. The student becomes more responsible for his or her own learning. (Thomas 2). They are also more likely to engage themselves in school related activities (Thomas 2). Everyone is involved in the virtual learning not just the student but also teachers, administrators and the institution. (Thomas 2). The student develops an independency to do his or her own work (Thomas 4). They are more willing to follow the teacher’s instruction and become more constructive and develop an understanding and the use of skills increase (Thomas 4).

Teachers enrich students throughout the school year (Camp 2). Teachers improve the student’s idea of learning (Camp 2). Teachers empower their students giving them will power to want to learn (Camp 4). Teachers develop learning strategies for the student to utilize to help their learning (Camp 1). Teachers prioritize their lessons to make them simpler to learn (Camp 2). Teachers plan their time because students can only focus for a certain amount of time (Camp 2). According to Kumashiro, 2004 p.xxii he states that an average person can only focus just 20 minutes. So teachers want to involve students in study methods and techniques so they stay engaged in the activity (Camp 2). Teachers want students to use critical thinking (Camp 3). It is statistically proven that teachers
