Evolution of Generational Learning

Generation M

•Multi-tasker•Media•Multi-Modal•Multi-Nodal•Variance (Differentiation) Makes Reaching Them Possible

Understanding the Individual

•Differentiation: “By definition, differentiation is wary of approaches to teaching and learning that standardize. Standard-issue students are rare, and educational approaches that ignore academic diversity in favor of standardization are likely to be counterproductive in reaching the full range of learners.” – Tomlinson (2006)

Clasped Hands

Are Students Life-Ready?

• 2008 Oxford Survey of “Most Important Employee Skills”

• Employers said employees achieved 15% of these regularly

Technology Can Help: History Pin

Technology Demands Purpose

•“Students know when technology without purpose is being imposed on them.”

Welding, Telescopes, Automotive, Microscopes, Cadavers, Architecture Software, Bridge Construction Tools, Etc

Disrupting Class

But Students Still Demand Technology…

Important Future Quote

• “In the long run, excesses of technology mean that the comparative advantage shifts from those with information glut to those with ordered knowledge; from those who can process vast amounts of blab to those who can explain what is worth knowing and why…” (Ratinoff, 1995)

Creativity

“Chief Executives believe that – more than rigor, management discipline, integrity, or even vision – navigating an increasingly complex world will require creativity.”

80% of employers seeking creative employees cannot find them to hire…

Creating A Custom Playlist for Students

• Class lessons:Traditional lessons for the whole class help introduce a lesson or reteach material as needed.

• Assessments:Teachers conduct regular formative assessments, using some quick digital applications and analytic tools, to determine students’ skills and academic needs.

• Skill-building games:Computer-based games that focus on developing specific skills like vocabulary or multiplication facts.

• Group projects:Students collaborate on assignments using technology and traditional research and presentation tools.

• Independent Research:Assignments outside of class using online and traditional resources give students the chance to guide their own learning.

• Online courses:Virtual learning could give students access to credit-recovery or accelerated courses, as well as enrichment and intervention activities.

• Tutoring:One-on-one or small-group tutoring sessions, on-site or virtually, aid students who are struggling academically.

• Site Visits:Students can tap into outside educational resources, such as museums, libraries, and local historical sites.

• Blogs:Students can write blog entries to demonstrate what they’ve learned, outline their research, and communicate with their teachers.

• ETC

Experts recommend teachers utilize a variety of tools and activities to address personalized learning:
