This document discusses how students and young people engage with technology and the internet. It notes that many students are comfortable with technologies like instant messaging, social media, and blogging. However, it also suggests that students often have poor search skills and struggle with attention due to constant partial attention to many devices and information sources. The document examines how education needs to adapt to these changes in how young people engage with the digital world.
