Can I link my wiki site to my web page?
Can I link my wiki site to this blog?
I also found the description of the Millennial Student on page 24 a great summary of many of the employees I teach at the bank. They are Digitally Literate (they teach me everyday something new on YouTube), Connected (physically attached to the phone), Immediate (like speed-get bored easily), Experiential (want to do), Social (ah yes, heard of Facebook?), Teams (they like working together), Structure (they like to win and get the right answers and dont like vague or ambiguious rules), Engagement (they want to do), Things that Matter (so what? they need to know how it applies to them to be important). I know that Cognitive Theories have been around for a long time, but these folks truly learn differently than we did.
An example of my students that was great was two young men in my class created an animated stick figure show using a small post it cube. Back in the day, kids would take small books and create simple stick figure pictures one page after another and when you flipped through it quickly you would get animation. So these guys create this silly animation with the post it cube, video the animation and post it to You Tube. The coolest part of this was the animated video of the stick figure and made me realize how far we have come.
When I have some more time I can look into that?

I too work with mainly internet generation students and I continue to be challenged and fascinated by them. Thank you so much for the highlights from the book that share about some of their qualities. I am working on a wiki for an upcoming course that will go live mid-August. Please let me know if you would like a link to it. I also have written a post on the internet generation and collaboration at http://21stcenturyappreciativeinquiry.com/innovations/the-internet-generation-is-wired-to-collaborate/. You might find it interesting.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the leading edge work. For me, it just gets more exciting all the time.
