Generations are different, and for digital natives, what looks like wasting time may actually be doing research or something else productive.

Note-taking is a huge thing in education. Learning a whole heap of systems and theory at work has made me consider and compare alternatives the impact the use of technology has had on taking notes. As a very kinsethetic learner, taking notes has always played a huge part in learning for me. So is typing the same as writing? Typing works for me - not only are my notes easier to read at a later date, as I think the words as I type them somehow this connects my fingers to my brain and I seem to absorb and take things on board or transfer the knowledge to my brain [the cognitivits would be happy]. Advancements in technology enable my mind-maps to be included as part of my notes, and I can easily add book-marks etc to make finding a particular point so much easier. Comments my learning mates or the facilitator make are also easier to incorporate into my own notes - even in a different colour text. Have I learnt more, better or faster? The jury is still out on these questions. The implications of this as a teacher is something definitely worth pondering further.
