“One study found that in spite of the fact that 99 percent of K–12 schools have Internet access, as do most classrooms (87 percent), these resources are rarely used effectively.” This statistic jumped out at me.  I think of my building and all the demands that teachers must do.  Our teachers in all grade levels must do 120 minutes of reading/language arts from a researched based program.  Factor in all of the other requirements of teaching; it is hard to use technology effectively.  My building was built in the 1960’s and there are not many electrical sockets in each room. I think our teacher would love to use technology more, it's just finding the time to fit it in.

            I think the Net Geners are great at using technology socially.  Communicating socially is just like breathing to them.  It comes naturally.  But I wonder if they feel that they are using technology effectively?
