How can we help them be


The Google Generation


“Education has always been about absorbing the facts first and reflecting on them second.” Brian Kelly says. “The technology tide is unstoppable.”

Listening to Student Voices

• Technology is not an extra

• Computers and the Internet are communication tools first

• Students want challenging, technology-oriented instructional activities

• Technology has caused students to approach life differently, to adults nothing has changed.

New media forms have altered how youth socialize and learn, and raise a new set of issues that educators, parents, and policymakers should consider.

To stay relevant in the 21st century, education institutions need to keep pace with the rapid changes introduced by digital media.

A missed opportunity?


I wish I had grown up with MySpace and Facebook. I think I would have been a much more social and well-adjusted

person. I was shy and uncomfortable, and having a forum in which I could just be “myself” would have been a lifesaver.

Things you can do now!


Try Learning 2.0Gather evidence

Talk to your studentsTry one or two technologies
