This document discusses challenges and opportunities for teaching the "Net Generation" of digital native students. It notes that while students today are highly connected and able to multitask online, they often lack critical thinking skills to evaluate information online and may experience reduced creativity. However, the internet also enables new forms of social and collaborative learning. It provides examples of classroom strategies like flipping instruction to engage students through activities completed in small groups using online data and tools.

Editor's Notes
- Rushkoff (2006)Today’s screenagers have been forced to adapt to such an extent that many of their behaviors are inscrutable to their elders. We feel threatened by how different they have become. Indeed, screenagers appear to be interacting with their world in ways that are as dramatically altered from their grandfather’s experience as the first winged creature from their earthbound forebears.
- Howard Rheingold (2012)Most importantly, as people who are trying to get along day to day in a hyper-scale, warp-speed civilization that seems so often to be beyond anyone’s control, digital literacy is something powerful we can learn and exercise for ourselves and each other. "
- And what is the impact of having all this technology on learning?Nicholascarr, The world of the screen ... is a very different place from the world of the page. A new intellectual ethic is taking hold. The pathways in our brains are once again being rerouted.Students today think differently.
- Hyperlinks, encourage us to dip in and out of texts, but he fears that its pells the death of thinking by books,Web search draws our attention to a particular snippet of text that is relevant to what we’re searching for at the moment, but makes it difficult to view work as a wholeIt’s happening fast – increased use of digital media, and from an instructor’s point of view, how to integrate in the classroom?
- We can connect anywhere The most profound impact of the Internet is its ability to support and expand the various aspects of social learning. Kids today are connected through skype and facebook, and text. How can we integrate these technologies in the classroom?

- Digital natives vs digital immigrants this 10 year old model ….
- teachers should not assume that because many children are adept at using … technology, that they are able to apply them freely in formalized learning contexts such as school. Nor … should they shy away from using technology in the classroom with the fear that 'the children will know more about it than me' -
- When thinking about the space, think about what students might want to do there – what equipment do you need, what equipment do students already have?Bentley has a mobile computing program, where every student has a laptop, so we needed table space for laptops.Wireless needed to work well because mobile devices are wireless. That meant enough hubs and routers ….And the smartboards and big tv’s are just cool.
- almost every student already has a powerful computer- we are far along with 1:1, because a great percentage of your students has a powerful computer in their pocket: a cell phonecell phones are- powerful computers- inexpensive- more….what is missing here is often our imagination and support of schools to integrate the tech we already have
