I got what you are saying and that is part of the reason for my questioning. I mentioned my kids because I think part of the way I have begun thinking about multi-tasking is based on me spending my day trying to teach students to either 1. not be distracted by extraneous stimuli or to 2. return to the task at hand and follow it through to completion. For instance.... I usually give this group 2 worksheets after a particular lesson. They know how to complete both. At first not thinking I handed them both to them at once. The students went back and forth between the two at times and only the one on meds finished them. So then I began to give them one at a time. Maybe I'd be better off handing them both and showing them how to toggle between the two and still stay focused. Just trying to figure out how to best get my kiddos ready for the real world despite my personal feelings so I figured I'd survey the real world (or at least the sexy part) for some opinions.
