Thank you for your post, Eric. My feeling has always been that even though generation Yers love to multi-task, multi-tasking should not be encouraged in every situation, particularly in the classroom. Our experiences are showing daily in the classroom that many such students who concentrte on multi-tasking in the classroom rather than engage directly witheir instructors end up doing poorly in the course. Our own individual experiences also show that learning is enhanced by concentration and focus. Distractions never aid any learning process. Even the highway patrol men have seen that drivers who text, phone, etc., while driving are daily experiencing accidents, some of which are fatal. That is why many laws are being enacted to enhance complete concentration while on the highway. Multi-tasking in the clasroom setting does not work at all.
