generation gaps
don,t let the age differance get between you and your students
terry,
I agree. We need to be aware of the generational differences, but not let it become a barrier in our effective teaching.

In all of my classrooms I have huge generational gaps between my students. I use these gaps as an advantage..
I like to keep current with all generations around me so that it is easier to relate and instruct.
I feel when there is a gap that only gives an opportunity for each student to see things from other points of view as they should when they are out in the work place.
Heather,
this is a great perspective & I completely agree. We have much we can learn from different generations.

This is an advantage to use the different thinking styles from all different gen's to help each other understand how everyone see's one thing and perceives it. I think it works great at times, and at times a little tough but useful.
I can relate to having all age gaps also in my classroom. I use this as a advantage for learning so students can feed off others ideas and thoughts in a positive way.
