Pro DebaterCredo: I believe everything I read about how the Millennials are so

Con DebaterCredo: I am skeptical of everything I read about how the Millennials
are so different from the rest of us

The BibleHowe and Strauss (2000) demonstrate that the children of boomers and of older members of Generation X are actually harder workers and better community builders than any generation since the G.I. Generation (born 1901-1924)

B.S.These guys have no idea what they’re talking about. Most of the book is pure speculation and an effort to find results that match their own predictions in a previous book where they wrote about what they thought this generation would be.

About Those Digital Net-Gens
• Are students of today technologically competent, or just confident?
• Having no fear is not the same as having knowledge or skill.
![Page 29: Millennials for MCAE 2009](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013003/54634126af7959422a8b513d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

From the Gurus, Strauss and Howe
"They will rebel against the culture by cleaning it up, rebel against political cynicism by touting trust, rebel against individualism by stressing teamwork, rebel against adult pessimism by being upbeat, and rebel against social ennui by actually going out and getting a few things done.“ (2000)
![Page 31: Millennials for MCAE 2009](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013003/54634126af7959422a8b513d/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Not so Fast, Bucko!
• The technology that was supposed to make young adults more astute, diversify their tastes, and improve their minds had the opposite effect.
![Page 32: Millennials for MCAE 2009](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013003/54634126af7959422a8b513d/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The Millennials are Here!
“We need to figure out how they learn and change the education model so that it works for them.”
![Page 33: Millennials for MCAE 2009](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013003/54634126af7959422a8b513d/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Poppycock!!
• “We get to mold the way they learn to ensure that they have a productive, worthwhile future.
![Page 34: Millennials for MCAE 2009](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013003/54634126af7959422a8b513d/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
We Must Start Using Their Tools
• If all the students use Second Life – we should teach in Second Life.
• If all the students use Facebook – we should figure out how to teach with Facebook.
• If all the students are texting, we should send them text messages.
![Page 35: Millennials for MCAE 2009](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013003/54634126af7959422a8b513d/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
WRONG! Avoid the Creepy Treehouse
• n. A place, physical or virtual (e.g. online), built by adults with the intention of luring in kids.
• n. Any institutionally-created, operated, or controlled environment in which participants are lured in either by mimicking pre-existing open or naturally formed environments, or by force, through a system of punishments or rewards.

Digital Natives• It is now clear that as a
result of this ubiquitous information environment and the sheer volume of their interaction with it, today’s students think and process information fundamentally differently from their predecessors.
Marc Prensky – “Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants” 2001
![Page 37: Millennials for MCAE 2009](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013003/54634126af7959422a8b513d/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
• That I’m a digital immigrant.
• That a 14-yr old kid can speak digital better than I can.
• That it is productive to split all technology users into two camps pitted against one another, when learning about technology together should be a TEACHABLE MOMENT.
Things I Don’t Believe

Seven Core Traits
• As identified by Howe & Strauss in Millennials Go to College:
1. Special 2. Sheltered 3. Confident 4. Team-Oriented 5. Conventional 6. Pressured 7. Achieving
![Page 39: Millennials for MCAE 2009](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013003/54634126af7959422a8b513d/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Confident, Assertive, Entitled
• Today’s young Americans are more miserable than ever before.
• “You can be anything you want to be” is a bunch of hooey.

What They Know that We Don’t
1. The Web has won. 2. Learning communities have no
boundaries.3. Educators need to focus more on
how to improve rather than restrict student access to the Internet.
Rod Carmichael and Blake Bourque, Maine high school students (keynote)
![Page 41: Millennials for MCAE 2009](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013003/54634126af7959422a8b513d/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
An Alternate View
1. We were smarter than they are at the same age.2. As screenagers, they’re addicted to the Internet,
have no real social skills, and they don’t take time for outdoor or physical activities.
3. Their parents run their lives, thus they are adrift in the world with no purpose or direction (path).
4. They’re criminals. They steal by downloading music, violate intellectual property rights, and think they should be able to “share” anything that they want to.
![Page 42: Millennials for MCAE 2009](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013003/54634126af7959422a8b513d/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
An Alternate View (cont.)
5. They haven’t learned the value of a good work ethic and will be disloyal and slacker employees.
6. They are the narcissistic “me” generation.7. They have no shame. 8. They think online bullying is fun. 9. Their games are violent, and so are they. 10.They seriously just don’t give a damn.
