Introduction
Learning in the 21st century has a learning-on-demand format. We no longer spend time learning or researching topics that are not of interest to us. The content that matters to us come in short tweet-like form and everything else that we may need for the moment is available to be found - through Google, social networks, the Internet at large.
We don't need to worry that students are tweeting, Facebooking, writing a paper and watching TV all at the same time. The fact that we can't do it, doesn't mean they can't. It's part of their new learning style which allows students to be recipients and creators of information at the same time. Our students are effectively preparing themselves for a new kind of workplace - fast pace, technology-rich, and fostering life-long learning.
