چکیده (انگلیسی):

Harnessing student energy for the positive use of technology in the classroom requires significant
change for many educators. Students today exhibit a one -click mentality when using computers in
the classroom, and are frustrated when they are not provided with instant gratification. Gone are
the reading and higher level thinking skills of the pen and paper years. With today’s multimedia
mania, students see the computer and its programs as toys, and it is extremely difficult to get them
to move from toys to technology tools. Educators are misgauging student learning when
technology is involved, mainly because it is extremely difficult to assess. It is important for
teachers to tame this multimedia beast and model millennial skills, and thus guide students to
focus on the computer as a tool, not merely a toy, in the process of learning.
