bull Adults have different learning styles How are we taking this into account in terms of professional development and human capital

bull Gen Yers

bull Kids have had different levels of exposure to technology The period of time at which our schools have been wired is fairly short

Basic online entertainment (online videos playing games)

E-commerce (online shopping banking and travel reservations)

Research and information gathering (product research news health and religious information searches)

Email and search

Active engagement with social media(visit SNS create SNS profile create blogs)

More advanced online entertainment (download videos music and podcasts)

More advanced communication and passive social media use (instant messaging visit SNS read blogs)

From State of the Internet 2009 Pew Internet Project Findings and Implications for Libraries

The vast majority of online adults from all generations uses email and search engines

While there are always exceptions older generations typically do not engage with the internet past e-commerce

The majority of teens and Gen Y use SNS but fewer maintain blogs Online adults older than Gen X are less likely to use SNS

So what

bull Networked learning You must be open to at least letting your kids drive the technology use in your classrooms Be willing to engage them in the ways that they learn best

bull Generational diversity Change is not going to happen without schools working as teams to examine at longitudinal goals

bull 21st century skills The art of teaching comes through via the weaving of 21st century themes into core content You need to provide guidance and be thoughtful when designing classroom activities

bull Learning environments Just as wersquove looked at the whole child we need to start emphasizing the whole learning environment Personalized learning for both students and teachers is important
