Response to 'The Net Generation Goes to College'

I know that including technology in the classroom is important for students who were born in the Digital Age. Students work best when they are engaged and the teaching methods are conducive to how they learn. Students these days multi-task and are constantly using portable devices. It is important to recognize these preferences as a way to identify with students, however I am uncomfortable with the idea of completely shifting the way teachers operate (i.e. groups learning from video instead of from a professor and meeting in peer groups all the time outside of class instead of an authority figure guiding students through the learning process). I do not think that we should completely cater to students' every desire as far as the classroom goes.
Learning is not always going to be 100% entertainment. Students should realize that just because they have different interests from the previous generation doesn't mean that teachers are required to throw their old methods out the window because the students are too spoiled to buckle down and learn from traditional methods. I agree with the article that there needs to be some sort of balance between teachers incorporating new technological methods along with the old ones to engage the students, but the students also have to realize that the best way to learn may not be the most enjoyable.
