Abstract:
Our children are natives of the digital age, and we are the immigrants. Our accent colors everything we do, including our teaching. This dynamic session explores the dominant thinking modalities of today's young people -- the action-oriented generation deeply engaged in multi-tasking experiential volitional learning as they surf the edges of urban chaos in their drive forward into a dynamic future. Based on in-depth studies of youth culture, this presentation examines several attributes of young people that can help us make sure their minds are as attentive in the classroom as they are outside the schoolhouse doors.
