With our Year 7's and 8's taking possession of their Notebooks over the past two weeks,I thought that the article  above from Edutopia was important.It recognises  that digital tools give us the opportunites to deepen learning through creativity and connection but also  acknowledges the challenging issue of keeping students focussed on the task at hand in a digital environment.This article also has lots of other links to interesting articles so is well worth a read.Click on the image above to access it.
