I learned a lot this week and it has only served to reinforce my belief that generational generalizations (that's a bad phrase) are never really helpful.<br /> Knowing pupils and designing lessons to their needs is the key, with or without technology.

I know a lot more than I did when I was younger...but not knowing and creating without the constraints of adulthood's rearview mirror has its benefits!Judy Blakeneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10650107515986844698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3236526523906668063.post-42202144705430869932015-08-02T01:19:00.398-07:002015-08-02T01:19:00.398-07:00Hi Judy

I agree that 'Immigrant' and 'Native' are just labels, and to that end, we need to be very cautious with handing them out and sticking them on peoples chests :-) Jon Hoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15218703884601180050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3236526523906668063.post-26796775699704049412015-08-01T08:09:16.642-07:002015-08-01T08:09:16.642-07:00You do a wonderful job of succinctly summarizing t...You do a wonderful job of succinctly summarizing the ideas of the articles. I think Prensky's article sums up many peoples intuition on the topic but I agree, think McKenzie debunks that theory. When you really think about it, it's a huge over-generalization to think that all youth have an easier time with a certain skill set that their elders.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03454688705203677088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3236526523906668063.post-45879110980856455572015-07-28T09:57:35.807-07:002015-07-28T09:57:35.807-07:00Thanks, Robert,

I think that is one of my next steps.

My experiences with student use of technology varies greatly by individual.

I agree with you that students are always going to learn differently. I love your point about, "Instructional design begins with the learner."

Suffice to say, we don't get a lot of value out of broad generalization of either group. It all comes down to each learner individually!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14599846008571808345noreply@blogger.com
