Getting students engaged is not an easy task particularly in an age that
is full of all kinds of distractions. Some argue that some of the
habits that students have developed as a result of their heavy use of
emerging technologies and social media have negatively impacted their
capacities to concentrate and focus for longer stretches of time.
Multitasking in particular is blamed for this and I personally side with
the camp that views multitasking as a distractor to productivity and
not a positive attribute.
Yes multitaskers are hard to hook in and keep their focus on a learning
task for longer time but motivation makes a difference. When students
are motivated to learn, focus and attention comes along easily. Look
