Abstract: While educators have witnessed increased access to the Internet, greater bandwidth, and advanced computer tools including mobile technologies, many questions remain unanswered as to whether or not the large financial investments in technology is impacting student learning (Burnham, Miller, & Ray, 2000). In addition, despite all the technological improvements and faculty development strategies that have been put in place, Oblinger (2003) cautions that the extent of technology awareness and proficiency that this generation has may “create an imbalance between students’ expectations of their learning environment and what they find in their colleges and universities” (p. 44). Specifically, this paper proposes the need for faculty to create the right balance between technology and the learning expectations of the net generation students.
