Adam Conover, comedian, discusses the dangers of stereotyping generations. We can't describe all millennials because they are the most diverse people to date. He claims that history shows that older people always talk down to practices of the younger people... it is a trend that has been around for years. Our view of generations reflects our own prejudice and opinions as our lens that we see the world.

I always love Adam Conover's videos. This was great. I think his commentary on generational views of technology. It relates with my article about rethinking how we study "screen time". I think educators can easily fall into generational stereotypes when targeting learners. Great find!

Honestly don't know how no one laughed at that "baby boomer" joke but this was such a great video. Such an interesting point to note that we label this whole generation as one, but they truly are the most diverse when it comes to everything from background, culture, interests, etc! Thanks for sharing!

Leaving this here for anyone interested in country music, copyright infringement in the music industry, and the Lady A controversy.

"But we are regretful and embarrassed to say that we did not take into account the associations that weigh down this word referring to the period of history before the Civil War, which includes slavery," Ummm. Exactly how could they be unaware? Ugh.

Thanks for sharing this video! It was a helpful walk-through of how to use Diigo.

This is great! Thank you ~

This video laid out a great explanation of how using this platform can be helpful. I am already envisioning the possibility of using it in my Media Center. Theoretically, I would like to see all of our students through their Social Studies classes. I think it would be very cool to use this site during initial media center presentations to allow students to compile resources they can easily return to. I think it will be especially helpful during science and history fair. Students will have a simple way to compile and return to their resources when putting together their projects and annotated bibs.
