Technology is considered a necessary tool for use in higher education and the economy. As future employees of companies, our students will be required to adapt quickly, gain knowledge and apply it in a variety of ways. As a teacher integrating technology, one must design and instruct in the manner to which they are the most comfortable but think always about their student's futures not their own in relation to technology.
Teachers are wondering if their student's attention spans and their ability to face and work through challenging tasks are hampered by technology. Some teachers argue they have to work harder to capture their student's attention and curiosity. Currently, there is not enough evidence from studies to substantiate this claim so researchers are querying educators as they feel their subjective input is the most accurate at this current time.
