Try incorporating a fun Ipad savenger/itnernet hutnt exercise in the classroom. You can work in teams and only need a few Ipads.

Distracting in classroom and provides a platform for cheating. I can't see much benefit from allowing them to be on or in sight within a classroom setting.

I read somewhere that a survey of Generation Y's was done and that if you simply just bring an Ipad to a meeting, they will respect you more and/or interact with you. Also read that they tend to not have direct eye contact and they also prefer and trust the older generation vs the boomers.

There is a book on the best sellers list titled 'My Reality Check Bounced' that is all about Generation Y and is excellent reading.

I view plaguerism as a form of student cheating and inform my students the first day of class my expectations on these hard topics.

I always start class with a fun, student-interaction activity.

I only show examples if I've removed the student identifying information.

I use a variety of types of assessments including written and online.

I like to variety content delivery and then have assessments at the end of class to ensure that my students are receiving info and processing it accurately. I adjust as necessary.
