In class the other day we saw a video on this generation's technological world and how it affects their education. I recently read a blog by a teacher who shows the counter side to this argument about this generations' multi-taskers. In it, she talks about ways in which teachers and boards of eds need to embrace this world. What is interesting to me is that she talks about using simple tools such as email instead of face to face contact after class, and other tools such as Blackboard and a digital dropbox. These suggestions, although they are useful and many other schools have already adopted these habits, seem like they are just scratching the surface.
