Millennial Mindspace: Iconoculture’s Nancy
Robinson• Global outlook at a younger age
• Mobile multi-media, more interactive and community-building, socially networked environments to live, play and learn
• TiVo: time-shifting, on-demand, customization

Millennial Values: Implications for Education
• Today’s students value:• Freedom and choice• Customization and personalization• Ability to scrutinize and provide feedback for
improvement• Integrity and openness• Want collaboration and “serious play” in their
education (project-based, real-life experiences in learning)
• Ability to move fast, at their own pacing• Constant innovation
Expectations of Education• Millennials want:• Clear guidelines, rules and goals• Responsiveness and fast feedback• Customization and interactivity when learning
in a community where open, inclusive and diverse thinking is encouraged
• Project-based, team-oriented learning• Involvement in community and volunteer
opportunities• “Stand up talking is deadly for this group”

What is Web 2.0?
Web 2.0 is the transition of the Internet from a place where we surf for information and consume information to a place where we are creators of information.
We go from surfing the wave to BEING the wave as we contribute and share information on the Internet ocean.

Foundations of a Web 2.0 Classroom
1. Internet Safety & Privacy

Why Blogging? What do you know about blogging?

A BIG SuggestionUse the blog to replace something that you’re
already doing; don’t use it to add.
Never blog for blogging’s sake. Think about how the blog can be used to enhance an assignment (links to audio/video clips, artwork, online texts, other blogs, etc.).

WHAT TO TRY
THE DESIGN CHALLENGE:
If your game/simulation could get:
• 100 people to do one thing online
What would it be, and what would it add up to?
Our growing ability to embed sensors, micro-controller boards, and networks in:
• physical objects
• built environments
and
• ourselves
Where are we today with the web?
