More than 2,000 teachers took an online survey. Threequarters of the teachers said the Inter and digital search tools have had a “ mostly positive” effect on their students’ research habits and skills. But 64 percent said the technologies “ do more to distract (使„„分心 ) students than to help them academically.” And 87 percent agreed that these technologies are creating an “ easily distracted generation with short attention spans.” The Pew Inter Project did the survey with the National Writing Project. Judy Buchanan is the vice director of the National Writing Project and a coauthor of the report. Ms. Buchanan says digital research tools are helping students learn more and faster. “Teachers really favor these tools because they are ways to make some of the learning exciting and engaging. Young people favor these tools. The goal is to really help them bee creators of meaningful content, and not just sort of consumers.” But one problem the survey found is that many students lack digital literacy. They trust too much of the information they find on the Inter. Judy says these students haven’t developed the skills to determine the quality of online information. “ It’s something that really has to be taught and paid attention to. Because in a world in which things happen quickly, you do need to step back, reflect and analyze the information you have.” Another problem is blamed on something that might not seem like a problem at all: being able to quickly find information online. Teachers say the result is a reduction in the desire and ability of their students to work hard to find answers. They say students are overly dependent on search engines and do not make enough use of printed books or research libraries. Many teachers are also concerned that the Inter makes it easy for students to copy work done by others instead of using their own abilities. 32. The text mainly tells us _________.
