Course Description

Today's digital natives (commonly referred to as the Net-Generation) value technology, experiential learning, working in teams, and social networking. This course examines the learning styles, expectations, and technical acumen of the Net-Generation and explains their implications for classroom learning environments. During the course, participants will learn the key differences between the generations and discover how to bridge those differences through sound instructional techniques. Participants will also learn how to leverage various technologies familiar to these students in order to create pedagogy that meets Net-Generation needs and transfers knowledge from teacher to student.
