How Does Technology Affect Your Thinking?

 ASK YOURSELF

* Do I have trouble concentrating when reading a long section of text on a screen?  If so,  what most often is likely to distract me?

* What steps can I take to reduce or even eliminate those distractions?

Tip: Start small by reading brief sections of text at first, then gradually increasing the amount.  Read out loud, softly to keep focused on the material.

* What adjustments can I make  so that I have adequate  time to think and reflect on what I have read? 

Tip: Use the last ten minutes of a study period to review what  you have learned. 

*  In what circumstance s am I likely to multi-task?

* What adjustments could I make so that I focus on one task at a  time? 

Tip: Keep your study area clear of distractions so that you are  not tempted to mulit-task.
