Who are the Net Gen? by natshoobie http://learningfutures.wordpress.com/who-are-the-net-gen/#comment-28 natshoobie Mon, 03 Mar 2008 05:50:43 +0000 http://learningfutures.wordpress.com/who-are-the-net-gen/#comment-28 Who do you think the Net Gen are? I would say they are those who have been immersed in the technological world. They have the skills needed to navigate and utilise the net and other technologies, not only to find information but to communicate their own information to others. Constant communication is central and this is highlighted by the mobile phone. What age group are they? Predominately they are gen Y or now gen Z. This does not mean that the net gen is exclusively theirs, but they are most likely to inhabit this realm. Anyone can join, just get out their and get in to it!! Are ‘their’ learning styles different from ‘ours’? Sure. It seems they need constant stimulation, entertainment even. Life seems to be in fast forward, need it now, want it now, HAVE it now. ICT can offer this "NOW lifestyle" to the net gen. The net offers a range of stimulus for a range of learners, chalk and talk is gone, clicking is the new writing, get amongst it. Who do you think the Net Gen are?

I think sharing of material is great but where will it be applicable where can we use it, and who will read this?

What makes a Net Gen? by bitrush http://learningfutures.wordpress.com/2008/02/27/2-what-makes-a-net-gen/#comment-25 bitrush Mon, 03 Mar 2008 05:39:47 +0000 http://learningfutures.wordpress.com/?p=22#comment-25 Who do you think the Net Gen are? Young people from developed countries that have access to Internet devices. Are they the same as the ‘Y’ generation? Not sure, I guess so. Similar but perhaps a bit younger. What age group are they? teenagers Are ‘their’ learning styles different from ‘ours’? They need constant rich media and inclusive learning, they want to learn what they want to learn. Is that a paradox or a tautology? Is this is all just a load of old baloney and a moral panic over nothing? No I feels stressed about it and loose sleep some nornings wondering about where it will al end up? What characterises their attitudes towards Information? Has to have a web movie , the funnier the better Community? the web savvy and the non web savvy. ipod vs ipod-less Collaboration? borrowing your ipod Communication? text me later Choice? tooo much what is good why am ireading this is it useful will I use this bookmark,...ever. I don't remember which computer I was on when I bookmarked that site. Complexity? Hmm What makes a ‘net’ generation? technology, attitude Is it age or ways of behaving online, regardless of age? Not sure about this one. Behaviour online. I think if your name is associated you should be careful. It all gets recorded. Does actually growing up with Web 2.0 technologies actually make any difference? I heard there is a theory that it makes people think differtly, thought processes are altered. I think this is probably a myth. Kids do seem to be more informed but are they smarter, I think they have access to technology that makes them seems smarter than they are. Write down your thoughts, discuss with a partner or small group in the class, or blog it! OK thanks Who do you think the Net Gen are?

Today's students are no longer able to learn as well as we did using traditional styles of "teaching". They are used to multi-tasking, and using digital equipment ALL day.
