Students have changed: research now tells us that they listen to music on their iPods 5 hours per week. They play video games 3.5 hours a week on their consoles, PCs, tablets, portable game devices, cell phones, etc. They watch the TV 16.5 hours per week. They only read 2 hours a week. They use computers and the Internet 5.5 hours per week, and they are generally as proficient or even more so than adults! They can’t stop using their phones for texting, calling, emailing, blogging, chatting, messaging, browsing the web, looking up information, sharing... you name it!
