Today’s StudentsBorn into age of the Internet

Information has been universally available and free to them

Community is a digital place of common interest, not just a shared physical space.

Define characteristics by online actions rather than birth dates or traditional demographic data

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

• “TV is boring, you can’t customize it.”

• Demand an unprecedented amount of control of media and they “are not going to give it up”

• “It’s not about being anaesthetized, it is about being engaged.”

• Internet as a creator of community

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.

1. Internet Safety & Privacy

Why Blogging? What do you know about blogging?

Why Blogging?Will Richardson: 2004

Where are you? What do you want to know?

04/19/23 29

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.).

The growing need to compete for and harness:

and

• participation bandwidth

We must ‘collaborate or perish’—across borders, cultures, disciplines, and firms, and increasingly with masses of people at one time.

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

The HOW:Location !

Sensing!Bio metrics!

Motion!Crowd- sourcing!Augmented reality!
