Generally different
Without retaining information in the brain, on the job could be bad for employment where as the older gen's have the ability to retain piles of information and save time researching info
I actually dont allow tech usage in the classroom as I teach Auto and Diesel until we are in the labs doing work. I do however help my students with their retainability by using a lot of personal experience, from my 40 years in the industry. Some students it helps and sometimes I find going one on one helps. Each teacher has to find their own way to deal with it.
James,
this is a good point that we need to keep in mind. Whereas the info is at our fingertip, how long do we take to pull that up? There is definitely an argument for balance to be made.
