Hi Roger: Good ideas. Relating to the students in whatever version they appear ((Gen-xers, Boomers, etc.), and understanding learning styles, preferences, and personal factors in their lives all contribute to zeroing our focus on their spicific and unique learning ability and retention of information. The more variety we put in our delivery style, and using varied media choices will help as well. Getting students to be involved actively, participating, and engaged in the lesson will be more meaninful as well. We have to be willing to put aside our standard plans in order to reach students, if thats what it takes. Regards, Barry
