Net Generation in the Classroom
In this course, you have learned about the characteristics and interests of the "Net Generation," including educational considerations. Now, you’ll reflect on how you see yourself as a educator in relation to your students, who are members of the Net Generation. Please post a "comment" in response to the following questions (and support your responses):
Which generation do you think best reflects your personality, attitudes, and beliefs: Silent Generation, Boomers, Generation X, or Net Generation? Do you identify with more than one generation? Is the generation you identified with based on the year you were born or other intrinsic considerations?
What insights have you gained about teaching students of the Net Generation? Reference specific course material and Internet resources in your response.
How do you think you can best engage students of the Net Generation in learning, particularly in your subject area?
