Now, as to whether that increased engagement leads to increased knowledge and, as important, retention of information remains to be seen, I think. For my part, I keep hoping to see some indicators that the use of technology is changing the way kids are writing, but nothing has convinced me of this quite yet. Kevin HI Larry
