In an recent article published in Scientific American kids, even though they may be facile using a variety of digital tools, are "quick to become impatient and discouraged when faced with complex tasks involving digital tools." Researchers Passanisi and Peters stress that teachers have a responsibility to help students take them beyond instant gratification to learn to discern what is relevant and what is not. Students will need to learn that it takes time to sort data, inquire, and solve problems.
I agree and see that our Title I shifts in reading and math is a good pathway to take. As proctors you could see this behavior in MAP testing...don't know. The MAP test mantra could be "Think Before You Click."
