Use of computer research empowers us to glean a wealth of information and images quickly, combined with graphics, sound, and video. I have observed that my students, as a result, tend to multi-task, spending shorter amounts of time looking or reading before moving on to the next thing. What I might consider sensory overload seems routine to many of the students. Does anyone else feel they must provide “edu-tainment” in the classroom to break through this pace and way of learning? What are some best practices that you might share from your experience thus far?
