When Awake, Young People are Online

Last week I saw this report in the New York Times.

The article focuses on an extensive new study sponsored by the Kaiser Foundation -- that shows young people (ages 8-18) spend nearly 8 hours a day with online media entertainment. Since they often manage multiple media at once, they cram in, on average, over 10 hours of media content per day.

We need to wrestle with these findings as we engage and support students learning across borders.
