A recent study published by the Kaiser Family Foundation titled "Generation M: Media in the Lives of 8-18 Year Olds" finds that young people today spend an average 6 1/2 hours per day with one or more forms of media. Given that a majority of media available today is in digital format, students are increasingly expecting to use the same or similar access in school. In addition, most of these newer technologies involve students collaborating with one another. Sometimes this is a simple one-to-one communication over distance such as a phone call, but increasingly it is more often a many-to-many conversation using Internet connectivity and a variety of applications. Today's students still follow that same social interaction pattern by getting together as a group, but now they bring DVDs to watch or connect cables that enable them to play games in a collaborative fashion. In this article, the author describes the technology resources that students use and considers new ways to use digital tools that allow students to work with one another in solving problems and creating projects.
