Every day Millennials are using cell phones, chat clients, and email to communicate in short, quick bursts. Entire conversations that used to take place over lemonade on the back porch happen in moments through the digital ether using "words" spelled with as many numbers as letters, and entire phrases reduced to a single acronym. Could it be they have difficulty reading complete thoughts and paragraphs in an online environment because they have never related to it in that way?
Either way, I think the need to monitor and assess student learning as they use technology is critical.
