This Is A USC College Student's Bag - And He Is Not Alone!

What's in my bag?, originally uploaded by koolsmoky.

I know what you're thinking when you see this picture of a college student who appears to be a USC student with all of these gadgets: he is not learning jack!

Wrong answer! He is a digital native and he learns different than many of us. Because I just stopped going to classes last spring I actually recognize myself with many of these tools at work! Guess what I actually use most of them as short cuts for learning new skills, information and for conducting research.

So just because there is a lot a junk in the trunk, does not mean a person is playing games without a purpose! LOL!

By the way how many of these devices can you name? How many do you own? How many do you actually use? How many of these devices do your friends, children, spouse or significant other use on a regular basis?

Questions! Questions! Questions! This is what drives convergence, and it is coming to a classroom and office near you no matter how much bosses try to ban them as just games or gadgets. That is not what the research or the Armed Forces of the US thinks!

They don't spend billions on this stuff for nothing and research it, and then go totally digital unless it works (Bonk & Dennnen, 2005; Wisher, 2000, 2007).
