Digital Natives


I think this is very true that students today are growing up in a very different world. Kids use to play outside and create simply games, rhymes, and songs. Today kids are hooked in to all forms of electronic devices for information, games and social interaction. The chart above really outlines the differences quite well. For teachers of the 21st Century to connect with their students, they are going to need to connect with the new technology. One of the best was to engage students is to show educational skills to career skills. By being savvy with technology you can grab their attention by both a surprise arousal and a inquiry arousal method.
