You can only fight this new technology for so long. It is the future and we must get on board. This is how these students learn and live their lives. It is important for us to understand their need for instant ideas and learning activities. They live in a world where everything comes at them very quickly. We need to be able to compete with this kind of attention and assessment. All of us should be life long learners, adapting to the new environments effectively.

I really enjoyed the information about constructivist teaching and retention; I also really agree with the idea that we are always learning and should be open to new ways. Having an evaluation after each course is a good way to effect this change. I love the idea that if I don't know the answer, I can easily say, "I will get back to you", or assign a class member to look into it. When you tell the students that you are learning also, it prepares them for life long learning which is so important.
