Educational Leadership / February 2011
Larry D. Rosen
Not too much to this article save a few key quotes.
To [the iGeneration], the smartphone, the Internet, and everything technological are not "tools" at all--they simply are.
[T]he...iGeneration...[is] defined by their technology and media use, their love of electronic communication, and their need to multitask.
The point is not to "teach with technology" but to use technology to convey content more powerfully and efficiently.
Technology is all about engagement.It also posted a few helpful sites:
