In my experience I find that the students who forego using there phones and computers in the classroom learn much better and test better than those who actually pay attention and take "Analog Notes". I accept this technology but I don't trust that Gen Y has the self discipline or discernment to use it in a purely beneficial manner. It is not really their fault. The technology is designed with many distractions. I could really go on about this, but I think I'll keep it short. In this course it says that Gen Y can multi-task by listening, taking notes and sending a text to a friend. That is just plain wrong. I test students on this almost daily and when asked to repeat what I just said they cannot.
