Lesson 3.Understanding Technology Learners-Oliveros
This document discusses the learning characteristics of modern students who have grown up with easy access to technology and the internet. It notes that while students today appear smarter, they have shorter attention spans and find it difficult to focus during traditional lectures. However, students engage more when lessons incorporate videos, group activities, and computers. The document argues that teachers need to adapt their teaching methods to the learning styles of digital natives by incorporating more technology and interactive elements into lessons instead of relying solely on traditional linear teaching. It also acknowledges both benefits and potential downsides of students' heavy technology use but concludes that overall, frequent exposure to technology stimulates brain development.

Technology and Learning in Higher Ed: Looking Beyond the MillenialsMinnesota State Colleges and Universities
The document discusses learning styles and technologies used by Millennials, who grew up with computers, video games, the internet and mobile devices. It notes that Millennials learn differently than previous generations by preferring hands-on, interactive approaches. Their brains have adapted to constantly seeking information online and from digital sources. While some say Millennials have short attention spans, the document argues they can focus for long periods on interactive media but less so on traditional teaching methods. It lists various portable devices, social media, virtual worlds and open source tools that define Millennials' technology use.Bridging the Generation Gap
The Generation Gap is the accumulation of differences, difficulties, and ideas between people born during different time periods.
Digital Citizenship: Educating 21st Century Learners
The document discusses the philosophy and goals of a school media department for educating 21st century learners. It emphasizes the importance of digital literacy, critical thinking, problem solving, communication, collaboration and developing higher-order thinking skills over simply recalling facts. Specific lessons and examples are provided for teaching these skills through presentations, image manipulation, research, movie production, digital portfolios and reinforcing responsible online behavior and safety.
Digital natives and immigrants oct 5
The document discusses characteristics of the "Net Generation" or "digital natives", who grew up with technology and the internet. It describes how they differ from older "digital immigrants" in preferring visual and collaborative learning, multitasking, and being constantly connected. Examples are given of tools and activities popular among digital natives, like social media, videos, and mobile devices. The document argues educators must adapt techniques like project-based learning to meet the needs and styles of today's digital learners.
Digital Native
A digital native is defined as someone born when digital technology already existed, who has grown up using computers, the internet, mobile phones, and MP3s readily. Digital natives learn from their peers through hands-on exploration of technology and having control over what and how they learn while also exploring real-world issues. Teachers should keep in mind that learning styles vary, attention spans are limited, differentiation is necessary, and technology should play a significant role in the classroom given its advancement.
Taming the Paper Tiger
This document summarizes theories about 21st century learners and explores mobile resources for faculty development. It examines the digital native theory which describes those born in the 90s as growing up with technology. It also discusses how habitual technology use develops digital skills regardless of age. While students may think they can multitask, research shows they cannot. The document promotes the use of mobile technology for faculty development through a wiki, newsletter, and upcoming iBook to support medical education.

Educational Technology 2
This document compares technologies, social relationships, and values between older and modern generations. It lists the technologies, communication methods, social interactions, and values of each generation. While current technologies make life more convenient, they have also negatively impacted behaviors, relationships, and values as people spend more time online and less time with family. Both generations have advantages and disadvantages, so balance is needed in using technology to preserve important social and moral standards.
Technology Affecting the learning Behavior of Childrens
It’s important to come together as parents, teachers and therapists to help society “wake up” and see the devastating effects technology is having not only on our child’s physical, psychological and behavioral health, but also on their ability to learn and sustain personal and family relationships. While technology is a train that will continually move forward, knowledge regarding its detrimental effects, and action taken toward balancing the use of technology with critical factors for development, will work toward sustaining our children. While no one can argue the benefits of advanced technology in today’s world, connection to these devices may have resulted in a disconnection from what society should value most, children.
We need to understand the ways technology is impacting our children, and how to encourage the right use of technology so it can have a positive effect on their behavior and development, as opposed to a negative one
Lesson 4 bridging the generation gap
The document discusses the generation gap between older and younger generations, particularly in the context of technology and education. It notes differences in manner of dressing, socializing, courtship, and marriage between old and new generations. In education, a large gap also exists due to differences in access to technology between schools in developed and developing countries.

Teaching and Learning with the Digital Natives
A presentation made at the 2008 Creating Futures Through Technology Conference, Biloxi, Mississippi, February 7, 2008
Technology affecting social skills
Excessive use of technology for online messaging and texting can negatively impact people's social skills. When communicating online, people are protected by the screen and don't have to interact face to face. This can make real-world social interactions more difficult and inhibit the development of social skills. Studies also show links between heavy technology use and increased psychological issues in teens. While technology provides advantages of convenience and connectivity, moderation is important to avoid problems that could arise from relying too heavily on electronic communication over in-person socializing.
Young Children And Computers
The document discusses research on the effects of early computer use by young children. It addresses the questions of what age children should begin using computers, whether early or extensive computer use harms children, and whether computers are effective educational tools for young kids. The research presented shows mixed results. Some studies found computers can improve skills like reading and math, while others found they provide limited benefits and may displace other activities that are more developmentally appropriate for young children. Guidelines recommend pairing computer use with interactions between children, teachers and parents, as well as other physical activities.
The net-generation4347
The document discusses the characteristics of the "Net Generation" or students born after 1982 who have grown up with technology. It notes that these students spend much more time using computers, video games, and the internet than reading books or in classrooms. As a result, they learn differently and educators must adapt teaching approaches to their skills with visuals, games, multitasking and finding information online rather than traditional lectures. The document advocates for teaching students 21st century skills like problem solving, collaboration and information literacy through inquiry-based learning rather than memorization.

Negative Effects of Overusing Technology
Technology has become an essential part of people’s lives, and most individuals, especially the young generation, cannot live without it. It has many uses such as social networking, searching for information, entertainment, job searching, and conducting e-commerce. Nowadays, it is rare to find people without cell phones, computers, email, and social networking accounts such as Facebook and Twitter. A survey conducted by the Jed Foundation revealed that approximately 90% of college students utilize technology to keep in touch with their friends and family through social networking (Simpson). Moreover, uses such as conducting research work and entertainment have become popular over time. Nevertheless, it is important to ensure that people do not rely too much on technological devices. Despite its significant integration into people’s lives, the overuse of technology can have some adverse effects on individuals and the societyFirst, overusing technology hinders the development of cognitive processes. According to Hatch (19), it affects development of the brain especially among children and adolescents and can cause CPA (Continuous Partial Attention) condition. Information overload induces this condition in the brain and affects its ability to process ideas and create various meanings. Currently, technology entails constant streaming of information into people’s lives through the use of computers, mobile phones, and millions of functional digital applications. From a majority perspective, these applications make life easier by reducing the time it takes to conduct business, keep in touch, and perform necessary tasks. However, they are the primary source of distractions from essential tasks. Studies show that social media and entertainment are the main sources of work disruptions thanks to people always checking their online updates. As a result, they cannot focus or conduct their job efficiently due to paying only partial attention.
Similarly, constant use of technology affects the way the brain absorbs new information and can lead to divided attention when performing different tasks. Studies indicate that distractions caused by social media and entertainment cause people to shift their attention to several different things, never at any one time focusing on completion of a single task (Hatch 20). Many technology users believe that they are capable of skills such as multitasking because they own a variety of tech devices that help them to accomplish different tasks. Nevertheless, studies show that whereas such people can split their priorities among many tasks, they eventually become unable to focus due to continuous bursts of new information. The result is that multitaskers develop problems in shutting out irrelevant information and experience higher stress levels in their brains. Likewise, people who heavily rely on technology become accustomed ...
Mc502 – media futures presentation
The document discusses how video games and media will affect education for future generations of children. It argues that as today's children become parents, they will be less worried about the effects of video games due to their own experience with games. Media such as the internet and virtual worlds can provide educational advantages by allowing interactive learning and access to more resources than traditional classrooms. However, virtual lectures may have disadvantages like more difficult communication and technical issues. Overall, media will likely enhance education by enabling interactive learning in addition to traditional methods.
Great Thinkers
Mimi Ito is a cultural anthropologist who studies how youth engage with new media and digital technologies. She co-led the Digital Youth Project, a 3-year study of how kids use media for hanging out, messing around, and geeking out in their everyday lives. The project found that kids develop skills through peer-based learning online and pursuing specialized interests, but there is often a generation gap where adults do not recognize or support this learning. Ito argues parents and educators need to understand youth media use in order to set realistic norms and foster productive learning through digital tools.

Tim Hoisington - MR Paper (1) (1) (1)
This document discusses digital storytelling and its potential to increase critical thinking skills. It begins by describing the "Net Generation" of students who have grown up with widespread digital technology use. While these students are more visually literate and able to multitask, their reading skills have declined. The challenge is engaging these students through technology while still developing important 21st century skills like critical thinking. Digital storytelling and video games can help by making learning interactive and stimulating reflection. When computers are incorporated into classrooms through initiatives like 1-to-1 laptop programs, they become valuable supplemental tools for collaboration, independent learning, and developing 21st century skills.

Millennial parents are increasingly documenting their children's lives online from a young age through social media like Facebook. This has led to debates around when and how children should engage with social media as they grow up. While technology provides educational benefits when used appropriately for young kids, some experts warn that screen time for children under 2 can negatively impact language development. As technology becomes more integrated into education and career skills, finding a healthy balance of technology use and real-world development for children is important.

Impacts Of Social Media.docx
Social media has both positive and negative impacts on people's social skills and mental health. While it allows constant connection between users, overuse of social media can distract from in-person interactions and damage well-being. Excessive social media use has been linked to higher risks of depression, anxiety, loneliness, and other issues. For students, heavy social media usage may hamper learning abilities and cause eye strain or poor physical and mental health due to reduced sleep and focus. Guardians and schools need to monitor youth social media use to prevent potential negative consequences.

The course aims to provide students with knowledge and skills on technology integration in instruction, impart learning experiences in instructional technology and supported instructional planning, and acquaint students with IT-related learning theories using computers as tutors. Additional objectives are to teach students how to use and evaluate computer-based educational resources, engage them on practical technology integration issues, and inculcate higher-level thinking and creativity while covering IT-related learning theories.
Evaluation of technology learning
This is justified by the fact that not only has the new generation changed into digital learners, but not traditional world has metamorphosed into a digital world.
The Internet and Education
The document discusses how to gain access to the internet. To access the internet, a computer must be equipped with a server that has special software using the internet protocol.

It notes that traditional schooling has changed little despite evidence of a digital world. A large generation gap exists in education that will widen unless schools change to adapt to new technology. While transition to digital education will take time for some areas, the rapid rise of information and communication technology means bridging the digital divide in society. The document stresses that educators must understand this gap and move beyond complacent, traditional approaches, or schools will become obsolete and fail to engage new learners.

Understanding Technology Learners
- 1. DARAGA COMMUNITY COLLEGE DARAGA, ALBAY LESSON 3 UNDERSTANDING TECHNOLOGY LEARNERS Prepared By: Lyndon Marc Abocado Roselyn Oliquino Jenelyn Binamira III-6 (BEED)
- 2. Today’s learners appear smarter, yet they can’t read as their parents do and they are addicted to the Internet. Even in classes, their concentration is questionable as they are uneasy to simply sit and listen. They become alive again through video presentations, group activities and computer classes. The concern for new learners valid, they fail to realize that the new generation of the 21st millennium is not the kind of learner that they were, but are information technology It is observed that, the new learners spend much time talking with friends on their cell phones, sending text messages, interacting through social Internet media like the Facebook, playing video games and surfing the World Wide Web.
- 3. LEST THE CONCERN FOR NEW LEARNERS IS NOT WELL UNDERSTOOD, IT SERVES TO KNOW WHAT SCIENTISTS SAY, AS FOLLOWS: There are positive benefits derived from the use of information technology or digital resources and these counter balance possible negative effects of technology on children. Daily exposure to high technology- personal computers, video game gadgets, cell phones, Internet search sites-stimulates the brain by strengthening and creating neural circuits. A current technological revolution is creating an intellectual revolution, faster and better than ever before.
- 4. The 19th century psychologist Jean Piaget presented a chart from childhood to adulthood with the first two years of susceptible minds, six years of acquiring communication skills, teenage years of transition concrete thinking, and adult years of abstract thinking and reasoning. Digital technology resources, such as IPod music devices, video game gadgets, computer games, mobile phones, and the Internet contribute to their digital acculturation.
- 5. On the other hand, there is the phenomenon of the young generation taking on multi- tasking as they perform tasks simultaneously: watching video, chatting online, downloading pictures and music, surfing the Web, etc. True to say, research shows that multitasking can be detrimental since this prevents concentration and completion of specific tasks. There is the need therefore to balance the good and possibly detrimental changes observed among new learners of this information technology age.
