Mines the nature of student research through the eyes of Advanced Placement and National Writing Project teachers, 77% believing that computers, technology, and the internet have a mostly positive impact on student scholarship.
Notes that, in seeming contradiction, 87% reported that technology is helping to raise a group of youth who are prone to distraction, moving from one page to the next without any complex thought. Shockingly, 99% of teachers surveyed still felt that the internet empowers students with more information resources and a wider variety than would be available otherwise. So, in the end the research points to problems but also to endless possibilities for students and teachers.
