All Together Now
As a Culinary Instructor, one aspect that helps me with some of the differences between generations is our lessons require physical, hands on application. Vets and Baby Boomers cannot rely only on memorization and Gens. Y and X cannot rely soley on the internet. They certainly need to understand the proper techniques but they must physically and properly execute this knowledge if they expect to be successful. These hands-on requirements help all in the class be on the same learning page regardless of their age.
I agree with your statements and we also have to remember that all generations can impact one another through communication and their learning styles. In classes it's enlightening to hear the gen x students helping out the others and visa verse. All understanding can not be clarified on a computer. Sometimes it's just plain old common sense and know how that works. Presenting to students of all generations takes a little more thought process but it certainly is interesting.
