Generation "Y" have a hard time giving up their cell phones, iPads and laptops. It is almost an impossible task to get them to adhere to the rules. Because of their generational connectivity, I think that it would be a wonderful idea to explore some ways in which the cell phone could be integrated into the lesson plan. Computer and iPads are already in use; however, the instructor must ensure that each students is on task, and not on Facebook or email. Computer technology can be a terrific tool; however, it can also be a distraction. The "connectiveness" of this generation, has produced students with a shorter attention span ecause of the ease on online text, scanning the material, and ease of plagiarizing online. To achieve balance in the classroom, guidelines need ot be in effect for non-technological lesson time, but also for "tech" moments, such as a quick...."Let's Google it!" by cell or laptop. It is a sense of immediacy which makes the lesson fun. (You can also make it a contest to see who can find the info fastest.)
