Notice the difference in the students. I am sure that you have noticed changes in your students. This generation embraces technology.
Does this surprise you? Notice how little reading this generation does. Look into your own house, do these figure ring home?
Many of the video games for children are educational. Look at some the TV programming for children.
Science has finally proven what we have already suspected – they are wired differently.
Doe some of these surprise you???? The one that I recognize in the classroom and at home is busy with extra curricular activities. What does this mean for the classroom?
Only 44% of adults use IM There is an e-mail system for teens called tagged. They sign up and e-mail each other.
If you have computers in the class, you will find students IM, e-mailing and watching music videos in addition to working on the class assignment. I have found that they can multi-task successfully.
If you can bring these characteristics in the classroom, it will increase learning. You might try and reorganize one assignment and then monitor the results.
The classroom is a great place to practice some of the skills that our students lack.
Notice how different this is from the conventional classroom. Does this mean that students are not learning? Students adjust to the classroom for learning, but it may not be their preference. It is good for students to have the ability to adjust to different teaching styles regardless of their learning preference.
Does this look familiar? Educators in their infinite wisdom decided that this should be what the classroom of the future looks like. Does this type of classroom work? What are the problems?
It is all about balance. You can try different technologies to engage students in the learning process. The key is to combine action with reflection; visual with text; social with individual; process with content; speed with deliberation & peer-to-peer with peer review.
Give examples from classes and let the audience share their experiences.
Remember that many students have personal websites. At a minimum you can have a site where students can get their assignments. We can take time and practice working in Frontpage.
