I don't think Google is making us stupid, but I do think change is inevitable.
Our students belong to the Digital Native Generation; we must recognize this
and adjust our teaching to accomodate their needs. Dr. Donald Leu and his team
of researchers, from the University of Connecticut, are working on the question

Dr. Leu is an exceptionally good guy, and answers email. His presentations are
thought provoking and are worth going to see.
