Intergenerational communication in the classroom: recommendations for successful teache... - 0 views

  • Traditionalists are often described as loyal, hardworking, conservative, and faithful to their employers. Many have worked faithfully for 30 years and have a very strong work ethic
  • Baby Boomers are known to crave recognition, value respect, see education as a birthright, and favor personable communication to build rapport with peers and co-workers
  • Xers tend to be skeptical, independent workers who highly value a balance between their work and their social life. They desire their time off more than extra pay or promotions and have little fear of changing jobs. In turn, they do not expect employer loyalty. This generation is shaped by a culture of instant results. They are comfortable with multitasking, are motivated to get the job done, value efficiency and directness, expect immediate responses, and look at education as a means to an end

  • Millennials tend to be highly collaborative and optimistic and are very comfortable with technology (cell phones that are cameras, iPods, and PDAs). Like their parents, they focus on a work/life balance

Voki Is A Fun, Free Animated Avatar Application That's Easy To Use In The Classroom | E... - 0 views

  • The one primary shortcoming of Voki that occurs to me is the 1 minute limit to what can be recorded for a given avatar. Multiple avatars can be created, but I saw no obvious way to simply copy an avatar so you could then record more speech to create a new “scene” for it. Additionally, there did not seem to be any apparent help utility (beyond an FAQ section). If I just missed this, and someone knows how to find help or request help in Voki, kindly comment and point it out.
