Need to get less upset about students multi-tasking in class

IN gaming each successive level gets harder. How can we apply this to math? Once you master 2 digit multipllication, you get to go to 3 digit multiplication!!!!

Inductive learners, trial and error (also cheats from web and asking friends)

Lateral learning lines theory You will learn more from the person next to you or one that you have a conversation in the hallway than you will from the presenter. The presenter's role is to spure this discussion.

Net Gen- demographics 1 in 5 have one immigrant parent AKA as Millenials 36% of population (31% of these are minority)

Fascinated by tech

First generation to watch less TV, passive viewing

Use most of their technologies at home, not school. Varies by economic level.

Internet connected computers need to be put in a public area, but today with wireless and laptops.....what to do?

In 2005, iPods were #1 over drinking beer.

The digital backpack

Filtering system- who decides?

One unfiltered computer in the library

Implications: Use technology as a hook Make education ubiquitous and 24/7 Use students' own technologies to teach them Make buildings places they want to be.

Not an immoral generation when it to downloading.

Do students understand the implications of what they do online (my space, facebook)

Kids need voice and policy making

Lifelong commitment to learning

Schools must have positive connotations, there are future tax payers!

These are the students who can solve world's problem. They like to learn, they just don't like the way many teachers teach.
