[CALIBK12] [CSLA Research Update] Multitasking study

[Aileen Willoughby]

This particular research study on multitasking is a very relevant for 
high school and college students.  I'm forwarding the information to our 
weekly school news broadcast teacher and our journalism teacher
for inclusion in either the weekly live video program produced by 
students or in a school newspaper article. 

Thanks, Dr. Farmer!
