TWIN FALLS * Education technology professor Dave Makings has seen the way technology has evolved during his time at the College of Southern Idaho. He introduces his education students - the next generation of teachers - to some of the gadgets and programs they may see in their future classrooms, such as online course management systems and iPads.

Students from Woodside High discuss their relationship to technology.

Technology in Education: Classroom iPads can act as all those-plus as globes, maps and interactive tools. Students can immediately demonstrate their geographic knowledge by pointing to India or France on a map displayed on the interactive touch projector.

The Times asked teachers to submit videos on how the use of technology has changed the way they teach.

An article by Mark Bauerlein (also the author of our book). Have to agree with him on this point. It seems like eye contact and handshakes are being replaced by text messaging and emoticons. I'm all for technology, but face-to-face conversations are certainly lacking these days.

Gen Y and the language.

Thanks to the current media frenzy and barrage of lawsuits surrounding violent video games, I can't tell people what I do for a living without getting a lecture on the current plague of youth violence and the scourge that is Grand Theft Auto.

I recently just read this article and I liked how the writer had supporting details to back up her argument.

The writer is generalizing. If she wants to argue that Generation Y is not lazy she must do more than present a few exceptionally successful individuals as examples (how many Gen-Y'ers are multi-billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg?). She provides no data on the general demographics of Gen-Y'ers to support her case.

This websites has alot to do about Gen Y and what its all about just incase people want more information on the topics today.

For anyone who has read this article, you might modify the bookmark to include a more descriptive tag or two.

Perspective of Gen Y doctors... This is a series of articles, but this is the first one.

This introduction is very interesting concerning the multiple tragedies that we have lived through and seeing them listed one after another. You don't always think about all the things we have experienced in our life time until you see a list of them all together.
