Consider this: The Net Generation is the cohort of young people born between 1982 and 1991 who have grown up in an environment in which they are constantly exposed to computer-based technology. It has been suggested that their methods of learning are different from those of previous generations. In a survey of first-year undergraduate students, we found that a large majority started university with experience of using online systems such as blogs and wikis; furthermore, their attitudes to the possible use of such tools in learning were positive. The Net Generation is a challenge to the way that all universities and schools provide teaching and learning. As a member of the net generation how do you want to be taught?
This question was posed to me, but to be fair I don't really know how to answer it. What works for me is different for everyone else. PERSONALLY, I like being given the tools I need to do something (ex: a short lesson, formulas, a hammer, a small dog, whatever) and then tackling a scenario/problem head on. That's just me though. I don't think there is a way to satisfy what everyone needs, except for having caring, patient, flexible teachers. In fact, when I have my computer in class, I struggle really hard to not go Pintrest-ing or Instagram-ing. However, others may be really good at sticking to taking notes.
