along the way.6. Focus on quality rather than quantity.7. Never work harder than your students.

Baby Boomers (1941-1960) discovered the “new world” Generation X (1961-1976) became the pioneers Millennials (1977-Present) are the settlers, the new society
Post to the wiki discussion: What has NOT changed?
Consider any family of immigrants. Who learns the language first? Who adopts the aesthetic, cultural, and spiritual values of the new country? The children, of course…well, welcome to the twenty-first century.We are all immigrants in a new territory.
Douglas Ruskoff, in Playing the Future,1999; p. 4

The Pew Info•There is a widening gap between
techno-savvy students and their schools
•Many schools and teachers have not yet recognized – much less responded to – the new ways students communicate and access information over the Internet
•Students want more and more engaging internet activities at school that are relevant to their lives
The Gift•It’s not so much what you do, as how you
think.•Pay attention to the principles rather
than the strategies.•Shift the focus from trying to manipulate
students to learn to showing them how to learn and helping them see the value in learning.
•You become a master teacher by thinking like a master teacher thinks.
