A View of Students Today
•Wired differently, neurologically different•Have developed hyperlinked minds•Brains able to process information in parallel not linear fashion
The Digital Generation
21C Teaching Practices
• DL prefers receiving multiple information sources
• DL prefer parallel processing and multi-tasking
• We prefer receiving slow, single source
• We prefer linear processing
Ian Jukes: The Digital Generation
21C Teaching Practices
• DL prefers processing pics, sound, colors, video before they process text
• DL prefer random access to hyperlinked multimedia info
• We prefer to process text
• We prefer to provide linear material
Ian Jukes: The Digital Generation
21C Teaching Practices
• DL prefer to learn 'just-in-time’
• DL prefer and looking for instant gratification and immediate rewards
• We prefer to teach for 'just-in-case'
• We prefer deferred gratification and delayed rewards
Ian Jukes: The Digital Generation
21C Teaching Practices
• DL prefer to network and collaborate simultaneously with many others
• We prefer them to work independently before networking and interacting
The Internet is a natural space, it does not exist removed from the physical world. Learning based on intuition, discovery,
and is experientialIan Jukes: The Digital Generation

Flat Classroom Projects- Some Influences
CQ + PQ > IQ..when the world is flat, curiosity and passion
for a job, for success, for a subject or even a hobby are so much more important than they once were. Because in the flat world you have
so many more tools to take you and your curiosity so much further and so much deeper.
