14. Really a Distraction?
Digital technology shortening students attention spans; and
Hampering their ability to preserve in the face of challenging tasks *
“Wikipedia syndrome”
• Students so accustomed to getting quick answers with a few keystrokes that
they are more likely to give up when easy answer eludes them.
Kristen Purcell, Associate Director at Pew, “… What we’re labeling as
‘Distraction’, some see as a failure of adults to see how these kids process
information. They’re NOT saying ‘Distraction’ is good but that the label of
‘Distraction’ is a judgment of this generation.”
Education system MUST adjust to better accommodate the way
students learn
