Changing times
ED117 was very informative about the different learning styles of the generations. As I watch my own children grow I can see how their education is so much different than mine.
Hello Mark: The days of "I learned this way, so you can too" are over. I wish I had a crystal ball to see where technology will take classroom instruction. Generation X and Y students now work collaboratively with Baby Boomers to teach the older learners how to use technology. The Baby Boomers share their skils of getting the job done with younger students. I only wish that I had some students from the Silent Generation in my classroom, so I could watch the eldest learners attempt to influence the other generational students to use more innovated creativity to reuse/recycle those ignored textbooks. Possibly, a future lesson might be clipping out the ignored textbook pictures to create a new kind of visual for learning a concept. Who knows?
