Generation Y (Born 1977-1989)

https://lauramccracken.wordpress.com/tag/generalist-vs-specialist/

Generation Z (Born After 1990)

http://www.shoutlet.com/blog

Reality about Gen Z 1. Generation Z was born to share Strategy: Listen and fast response to them, encourage them to share

2. Generation Z will research everything Strategy: Let them do research and share

3. Zs Need high-octane Engagement Strategy: Consider bringing “Game Mechanics” into classroom

4. Zs are Visual Creatures Strategy: Build lessons with more visual content. Encouraging them to submit projects with pictures and videos.

Is iPad the answer to get students focused on learning?

No. But A Good Lesson Plan is. Teacher needs to

Have effective classroom management skills

Create useful and productive assignment

Pace and balance lesson plans between face-to-face learning and using iPad apps for learning

Five Critical Mistakes Schools Make with iPad

1. Focusing on content apps. Q. Are we only looking for apps to match the curriculum?

2. Lack of Teacher Preparation in Classroom Management of iPads.Q. Do I have a LMS / CMS for this course?

3. Treating the iPad as a computer an expecting it to serve as a laptop.Q. Am I engaging active learning?

4. Treating iPad like multi-user devices.usiQ. 1-1 model: Do our students have their own iPad?

5. Failure to communicate a compelling answer to “Why iPads?”Q. iPad is the tool, what is your goal?

The language proficiency is the goal. http://edudemic.com/2012/09/5-critical-mistakes-schools-ipads-and-correct-them/
