Who Is The Net Generation?
In this case, our culture -- a culture of ever-changing technology -- has done something interesting...
It has created the "Net Generation."
"Culture is like dropping an Alka-Seltzer into a glass.
You don't see it, but somehow it does something." --Hans Magnus Enzensberger This is a generation of immediate response. Their tolerance of boredom is slim to none. These are the minds that are filling the hallways of our schools in the 21st century.
Teaching the way we have always taught is not going to cut it.
This generation won't let us get away with it -- and they shouldn't. Technology is what this generation of digital natives knows. It changes your perspective to realize that the majority of this generation doesn't even consider computers to be technology!
Technology is what they have grown up with, and we would be downright silly to think that fact doesn't affect the way they learn. We MUST find a way to incorporate
technology into our classrooms in a hurry--
audience response systems,
projectors, Internet, computer games, wikis, blogs, and social networking, just to name a few. Believe it or not,
these technologies are only the tip of the iceberg! MarcPrensky.com .....Various articles by Marc Prensky
