Great article! I will say that I too struggle with this idea of whether to have laptops be present in the classroom or not. I struggle because it was only in graduate school did I value typing my notes on my laptop, before then, I was old school and a pen and paper note taker. Now though, I do agree with you, it is up to the student to choose what is best for them.

Comment on Practice helps you deal with digital distractions by Rudi
Nice post! I do agree with you. Sometimes it is easier said than done and I think that applies to multi tasking as a whole and as an idea. It is unfortunate that all the responsibilities we have do not allow us the time to figure out a system that is efficient for our time.
Comment on Multi-tasking or Multi-task-switching? by Rudi Motshubi
Wonderful! This reminds me of the path I took too with multitasking. I like the idea of focusing on one tasks at a time. It allows you to be more efficient with that particular task. I know I would feel proud of myself if I used this approach.
