Growing up Digital
“This is the first generation to grow up digital — coming of age in a world where computers, the Internet, video games, and cell phones are common, and where expressing themselves through these tools is the norm. Given how embedded these technologies are in their lives, do young people act, think and learn differently today? And what are the implications for education and for society?”

Before viewing:
DECIDE how you're going to use the media KNOW the material to be presented. IDENTIFY the instructional need to be
addressed. DETERMINE the curriculum objectives. CLARIFY learner's needs (Introduction,
review, etc.). PREVIEW to select appropriate segment. PLAN for effective use.
Before Viewing
While viewing:
Take an active, enthusiastic interest in the program; your involvement will increase the learners' involvement.
One major advantage of digital media is the flexibility to stop and start the video as you need to. You control the instructional pace and flow.
Watch students' reactions; if they don't understand something, replay the segment as needed.
Encourage learners to take notes; it helps cement what they're learning and develop critical thinking skills.
Encourage learners to share ideas about the segment.
