The Revenge of the Digital Immigrants: Teaching with Media Technology

What veteran teachers suspected the research has proved: 21st Century students are different. With different attention spans, higher IQ test scores, and social networks, their sophistication comes earlier—with a different skill set. There is a silver lining: We can teach this “New Brain” more effectively, more efficiently, more engagingly. We have the technology! Media has evolved and education must evolve to match.

 

Participants will also have an opportunity to meet with the creators of Discovery Education streaming.
