Teaching and Reaching the Millennial Generation Through Media Literacy
“The challenge for today’s teachers, largely digital immigrants, is to continue to provide students with the legacy content of the old curriculum while providing future content to prepare students for life in the 21st century”
Teaching and Reaching the Millennial Generation Through Media Literacy
What skills, attitudes, and knowledge do students bring to the table?
Teaching and Reaching the Millennial Generation Through Media Literacy
What things may be hindering teachers in reaching Generation Z?
Digital Nation
• Arne Duncan suggests that sitting still and concentrating are skills we should cultivate.
• In a world where we are bombarded by multiple stimuli, how do we teach students to focus?
• When is multitasking a requirement? • How do we determine which is needed for a
given task?
Digital Nation
• Todd Oppenheimer suggests that schools have engaged in a “computer frenzy” and should instead be teaching students: ‘history, how to write, how to think, how to communicate with each other, how to be reliable, and how to follow a line of reasoning.’
• Do you agree or disagree?
Digital Nation
• Do you see potential for gaming in education? • Have you had positive/negative experiences
with students and gaming?• Do you agree that games like World of
Warcraft promote collaboration skills?• Do you agree that virtual worlds allow you to
discover other aspects of yourself?
