In Reference to the PAY ATTENTION You Tube Video

While I believe that there were certainly some valid points made in the video, I think one has to be careful to overindulge kids with technological advantages. For instance, I went to college in the late 90's and graduated in 2000. Many of my classes involved either group or individual efforts with various computer applications, some even being addressed during class. I think professors or teachers at the high school level run the risk of losing the student as well, because they get so immersed in stuff that is not necessarily relevant to the topic being discussed or taught. I know there can be safeguards in regards to putting firewalls up on certain material that would be otherwise distracting, but i still feel that at least I tend to scatter about when I'm online, even if it is with a productive thought in mind.

I'm all for technology to be used in implementing different learning strategies; I just think that the learning experience has to be tailored specifically to the focus of the aspect.
