Educational Reality• “2007 marks an important
stage in education. It's the first time that 16 year olds entering the job market have been brought up entirely in the era of the internet. Five year olds heading into primary school have been brought up entirely in the age of one click publishing.”
- Ewan McIntosh http://edu.blogs.com/edublogs/2007/03/peter_kellner_y.html

The iPod Generation Student

Teaching the iPod Generation• High level of interaction, online and in
person.• Engaged in the learning process, not just
passive receptors of learning.• A key component of the iPod Gen
definition of technology is customization.• Using technology to increase
customization, convenience and collaboration is well received by iPod Gen.
Teaching the iPod Generation
Educators must possess the ability to adapt technology to meet individual needs, rather than vice versa.
