This is one of the biggest challenges of students today. They have to process SO much information, and we have to guide them in how to best communicate that information effectively.
See Readicide for a powerful argument of how we as teachers, while well-intentioned, can “schoolify” reading and viewing and learning to the point that it’s unrecognizable to anyone anywhere on the planet outside of the classroom, and make students think they hate what they’re doing in the process.

So here’s how our 1:1 has helped students in our school-
everyone now has a computer no matter their economic circumstances
students have the ability to create all kinds of digital media to express themselves and their ideas
music
webpages

students are learning (sometimes the hard way) how to be responsible for both their digital actions and their computers
students are taking part in as well as learning from the participatory web
