PART TWO: Autobiography Sharing
Make sure you have published your website and that you have written your web address on today's sign-in sheet. With a partner, review each other's website to ensure you have completed all of the current requirements.
PART THREE: The Digital Generation
How would you describe your future students? What type of learners will they be? What expectations will they have for their learning environment, for their teachers, for their community? You'll be teaching the millenials -- or the digital generation. On an index card, describe your future students.
Marc Prensky is an educational speaker who discusses this generation in great detail. If you were born after 1982 - you are a part of this generation - you are a digital native. Most of your teachers were digital immigrants. What does that mean for education? For understanding learning styles and teaching strategies? Where does instructional technology fit?
For Tuesday:
- Make any necessary updates or changes to your autobiography. Don't forget to publish your page. Access your site at: http://pages.google.com
- Make a list (on scratch paper) of the materials you think teachers need to have prepared at the start of the school year (i.e. student name cards, etc.) and bring it with you to class.
