The document discusses how the current generation of students have had access to technology and the internet their whole lives. They may think they can multitask but can't. They have access to information overload and may not know how to evaluate information sources. Educational technology is growing rapidly. When using technology, teachers should start with clear objectives and choose tools to help achieve those objectives. The document provides suggestions for how teachers can incorporate technology into their classroom like having the librarian teach a search literacy class or creating a class newsletter. It also provides some website examples and tools for blogging, social bookmarking, and wikis.
