Abstrakt: In today’s fast-paced world, students are learning in a different environment than in the past and with many different tools than ever before. The students of today have been termed “digital natives” (Prenksy, 2001) due to being raised in a digital age and exposed to technology from the day they were born. According to Prensky (2001), digital natives can speak the digital language and multi-task on several technologies at one time. Given these aptitudes, educators have been eager to incorporate technology into their classrooms without it becoming a distraction. This has been an ongoing discussion at the university level and the means to make it happen takes time, effort and trial and error on the part of the students and university professors.
