Hi! Brenda Dyck, of MiddleTalk, recently asked a question about "the clickable generation," essentially wondering how growing up in an age of interactive technology is affecting our students. So I have two questions.
One, the obvious one - how *do* you think interactive technology is affecting our students? Two, less obvious - I was fascinated yesterday when my students produced a non-linear plot outline for the play they're writing. They had a bunch of index cards, each with an idea about what could happen in the play, and arranged them into a line that split into a circle, the two arcs of which then came back together to continue in another line.There was also one plot element card by itself in the middle of the circle. My question (finally!) is, are others seeing this kind of non-linear thinking, and if so, would you speculate that lots of clicking might be a contributing factor?
