Students of the 21st Century

Todays students are not the same as previous generations.  Technology dominates this age like nothing before.  Communication, social interaction, entertainment, business, there is very little, if anything, that has not been affected by technology.  This includes education and how students learn.  Research is not done online.  Notes are taken on a computer.  Instant messaging has replaced face to face conversation.  Students do not learn or interact like we use to.  Changes must be made…

Technology and the Future

This week for my master’s class I really enjoyed the videos that were assigned.  There is a lot of discussion going on today about the future of our education system and what curriculum should be taught.  There is a huge demand for technology in the classroom and yet many educators are reluctant to make the change.  I found both videos “Why is it important?” and "Vision on K-12 students today” to be incredibly…

This week for my master’s class I really enjoyed the videos that were assigned.  There is a lot of discussion going on today about the future of our education system and what curriculum should be taught.  There is a huge demand for technology in the classroom and yet many educators are reluctant to make the change.  I found both videos “Why is it important?” and "Vision on K-12 students today” to be incredibly interesting.  Some of those statistics were just astonishing.  It honestly made me…

Digital Immigrant

So, I am definitely a digital immigrant.  I look words up in the giant dictionary in the living room instead of the internet.  I take notes on a piece of paper next to my computer when at meetings hosted through the internet.  I use both a spiral bound calendar and the one on my computer to remind me of online meetings and deadlines.  I prefer to read books made of paper than to read them from my computer.

I do like the idea of a Monkey Wrench type of game to teach skills to…

K-12 Students Today Response:

After reading the articles and watching the video, it is clear that we need to reach students in a different way. When I was watching the video that lecture hall look very familiar. I had MANY classes in that room while at KSU. Yes, I learned a lot but it was not the best environment. We need to make learning more interesting, use more inquiry, and increase the technology. If we want the learners of today to lead the world tomorrow, then we need to give them the tools now to be…

Technology in the classroom? WHAT???!!

After watching the videos it reminded me of a discussion I had the other day with a student about the way they study best.  It was interesting to find out they have to listen to music to focus.  I learn the complete opposite way where I need complete silence.  However, our school systems usually forbid the use of electronics in the classroom. However, there are many times when students are in class and have to read or write assignment.  Many times when they are doing nothing because…

EDU 5503 Videos

The video presented in EDU 5503 states that today's students are no longer thriving in the "traditional" learning environment.  Today's students have different needs than just 10-15 years ago.  The newest generation of learners are multi-taskers who spend as much or more time in their day engaging in technology and connecting with their peers through technological outlets than they do sleeping.  The old school form of teaching (i.e. standing in front of the classroom presenting information,…

Reflection to "Vision of K-12 Students Today"

I really enjoyed the video, "A Vision of K-12 Students Today".  I was a student at K-State when that was filmed and remember seeing it.  What a great way to see who students really are today.  I could totally resonate with the sign that said students read 49% of what they're assigned and that only 26% of it is relevant to their life.  This causes me to think two things: 1. Is what I'm teaching and how I'm teaching it relevant to my students' lives?  2.  Am I engaging my students with how…

21st Century Classrooms and Learning

I feel that there is a huge misunderstanding when it comes to a 21st Century Classroom.  In my experience, many people equate 21st Century classrooms and learning with the use of technology.  I have to admit that I too was initially confused.  Many think that by using technology, they are creating a "21st Century Classroom."  However, this is often not te case.  When used correctly, technology can enhance and contribute to a 21st Century Classroom.  Technology is not a stand alone; it must…

10 More Ways to Use Blogs in Your Classroom

Blogging? It's Elementary, My Dear Watson!
