- Notice the difference in the students. I am sure that you have noticed changes in your students. This generation embraces technology.
- 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.
- Give examples from classes and let the audience share their experiences.
