Lindsey Dunn on 09 Sep 12Great video about the 21st century student! -
Cole Shaw on 09 Sep 12That was an interesting video, though I'm a little skeptical about all the "qualities" they promote about digital native students. It made me feel like students just want connectivity to the internet 24/7 ("when I can Google the best place to buy shoes, I will also be able to Google where to get the best education" really?)...which to me, doesn't speak much to how technology will help them learn or master content better? It's like some of the other articles people have posted that talk about how introducing technology into the classroom doesn't really help learning--giving kids access to the internet may not be enough. I do think technology has a great role to play, but I feel like the video really glosses over the topic and presents it in a "marketing" way...
