Today’s college graduate: 10,000 hours playing video games. 10,000 hours talking on cell phones. 20,000 watching tv. 2.75 hours per week on computer 200,000 emails/texts.

Young children: 70% of our nations 4-6yr. olds use computers. 68% screen time every day.

What are they spending the majority of their screen time doing? video games… texting… facebook… instagram… snapchat… twitter… google searches….emails...games… youtube netflix...hulu..

They are used to “richness”

Are you engaging them?
Ways to engage them: Blogs Wikis Podcasts Online Collaboration Online testing online learning	webcams GPS Geocaching games GIS Google Earth	Webquests E-Portfolios Virtual manipulatives virtual pen-pals virtual tours writing

“Since your students already know how to use this technology, why aren’t you using it to teach?”

-I don’t agree with this statement completely.

Screen time vs. other types of richness!
