In this article I have read was Understanding Multimedia Learning: Integrating multimedia in the K-12 classroom. I came across this article when I was messing around on the Brain Pop site. As I was reading through this article they pointed out that the students in K-12 are different in the way that they are "Digital Natives." They use this term as to describe who has grown up with technology verses people that have not. This describes the people who have never known of a world without technology.

This article the author talks about how the different social networking sites have brought students together. A place where they can communicate with their peers and meet others. She addresses that fact that it allows the public to gather.

With starting kids off young have we caused a new problem with laptops in the classroom? Kathy McManus blogged on August 14, 2008 about the banning of laptops from university classrooms. Within her blog she mentioned that "The laptop--the favorite in-class tool for college and university students across the country-is coming unplugged." Have we been abusing our laptops in class? I am not going to lie when I bring my laptop my browser ends up on facebook, or youtube checking out the newest funny stunt that some kids posted. The blog talks about how when used correctly the laptop can be a wonderful resource for a classroom but teachers cant monitor every laptop all the time.
