Pedagogy of the Digital Native

The 2011 Digital Classroom Pilot Program connected Bay Area minds with Bay Area student entrepreneurs

The feedback from participating NFTE students shows a desire for more time using technology to connect

“I really liked how the guest speakers were able to directly impact our pitches and business plans”

“More interaction between classes, and more time to interact with guest speakers would be valuable”

“The digital classroom felt like a more appropriate model for our generation”

“By the end, I was so excited to get to know every single student and all of their plans. It would be great to have more time to do so.”
