I think the David Glenn article makes a good point about teachers having to be able to adjust to the divided attention of their students. Single minded attention is not how most young people act nowadays. And as media professionals, we need to understand this because the content we have to produce must still make an impact on the consumer. Our message has to fight through the text messages, the television commercials, the music playing and the Facebook talking. Whether or not its a better learning environment should not concern us, we have to deal with it and try to reach our audience at a certain level.
