ASCD Inservice: A Digital Nation Divided: Multitasking, Media-Saturation, & Finding Focus - 0 views

  • Where do you stand as an educator? Should we transform classrooms to embrace the multitasking technology-rich world, or create environments where students must focus on a singular task? What strategies have you seen which use multitasking as a benefit to student learning? Or what strategies have you seen which help students block out distraction?
