  1. Welcome! • Please write your name on a name tag. • Begin completing the “New Technologies” survey at your table.

  2. Millennial Learners Lynn Angus and Jeremiah Henson

  3. Objective Pathwise Domain A: Demonstrating Knowledge of Students Understand and apply Domain A by becoming familiar with relevant aspects of students’ background knowledge and experiences.

  4. Indicators of Success/ Goals • Become familiar with relevant aspects of students’ background knowledge and experiences • Understand the distinctive nature of each generation • Develop awareness of how globalization and technology influence Millennial Learners • Identify classroom implications • Write a rough draft of classroom survey questions

  5. AGENDA • Generational Similarities and Differences • Technology and Globalization • World of Work • Implications for the Classroom • Classroom Survey

  6. Generational Similarities and Differences Goal: Increase background knowledge while building community, engagement, and energy.

  7. …generational personas are formed by a number of factors including the cultural norms for child-rearing at the time, the perceptions of the world as the generation starts to come of age, and the common experiences the generation encounters as it enters the adult world. - Deborah Gilburg 

  8. Get into Groups • Before 1945 (Traditionalists) – Pink • 1946-1964 (Baby Boomers) – Green • 1965-1977 (Generation X) – Purple • 1978-2000 (Millennials) – Blue Observe the statements in your category and discuss your relevant experiences.

  9. Your goal in the next 10 minutes is to talk to at least 2 people from at least 2 different generations. Discuss the following: • What was your favorite movie when you were 16 years old? • Describe the most significant event of your teenage and/or college years? • Describe the music of your era. • Describe what would have happened when you were a child and had a conflict with a teacher.

  10. Of course, it’s important to remember that generalizations about the generations are just that. Age defines a demographic, not a person. We are, after all, talking about millions of individuals here, each with his or her own unique set of work and life experiences. -Senior Editor Steff Gelston CIO.com

  11. BOOMERS XERS MILLENNIALS conquer connect fragmented get ahead get along get away product process information live to work work to live live to know innovative adaptive analytical job first family & friends first niche group first trust demanded trust earned trust eroded • What do you identify with? • What do you see in your students?

  12. I don’t trust you, but I want to trust you, so please don’t let me down. I’m going to test you and wait and see if you really mean what you say. - McAllister

  13. Their [Gen Y] B.S. detectors are always on. - McAllister

  14. Welcome to the Human Network

  15. Technology andGlobalization Goal: Demonstrate an understanding of students’ background knowledge and experiences.

  16. shiFt happens 2.0 1-1-1 protocol 1 question 1 thing that surprised you 1 implication for your work Round Robin share

  17. Technology ParadoxTechnology… • Divides • Interrupts • Coarsens and dumbs down language • Read anything anyone writes about me -The World Is Flat, p. 517 • Unites • Connects • Empowers communication • Write anything about anyone

  18. My personal dread derived from the obvious fact that it’s not only the software writers and computer geeks who get empowered to collaborate on work in a flat world. It’s also al-Qaeda and other terrorist networks. The playing field is not being leveled only in ways that draw in and superempower a whole new group of innovators. It’s being leveled in a way that draws in and superempowers a whole new group of angry, frustrated, and humiliated men and women. – Thomas L. Friedman, The World Is Flat

  19. “continuous partial attention” We’re so accessible, we’re inaccessible….we are everywhere—except where we actually are physically. –Linda Stone

  20. “Time’s Person of the Year:You” & “But Enough About You…” Text Rendering Protocol Roles A facilitator and a scribe Set Up Read the document and mark the sentence, the phrase, and the word that you think is particularly important. Share out your sentence, phrase, and word using the Text Rendering Protocol in your packet.

  21. If character is destiny, and if strangers have so many more tools to look inside your character now, then you better start building a solid character early…. Every e-mail you send, every entry you make in Facebook, in MySpace, or on YouTube is a digital footprint that will never be washed away by the sea. – Thomas L. Friedman

  22. Who uses the Internet? • More than 80% of people aged 18 to 49 • Only 33% of those older than 65 • 72% of whites • 69% of English-speaking Hispanics • 58% of African-Americans • 59% of those with a high school education • 91% of college-educated folks -Pew Internet Dec. 2006 Survey Facebook’s fastest growing demographic consists of people 35 or older. – Lev Grossman, Time Magazine

  23. There can be no gainsaying about the fact that a great revolution is taking place in the world today….That is, a technological revolution with the impact of automation and cybernation….Modern man through scientific genius has been able to dwarf distance. Through our genius we have made this world a neighborhood. And yet we have not had the ethical commitment to make of it a brotherhood. But somehow, and in some way, we have got to do this. -Martin Luther King, Jr., March 31, 1968

  24. Develop Survey Questions • Discuss some possible questions for your student survey that would help you better understand their background knowledge and experiences. • Have one person from your table write one of your questions on chart paper.

  25. Text (SMS) Messaging? Using text messaging, find out someone’s • year of birth and • the number of jobs that person has held Try to get a response from a geographical location as far from Cincinnati as you can. We’ll see you in 15 minutes!

  26. Post-break assignment As you return from break… • Get a colored dot. • Write down the information gathered from your text message (birth year and number of jobs). • Put your dot on the map to indicate the source of the text message.

  27. Video Conference

  28. World of Work Goal: Understand the importance of becoming familiar with students’ background experiences.

  29. 60 Minutes Use the 4 A’s Text Protocol. • Assumptions • Agree • Argue • Aspire

  30. Millennials at Work • Distaste for menial work • Lack of skills for dealing with difficult people • Impatience • Lack of experience • Confidence -Claire Raines “Generations at Work” • Multitasking • Goal orientation • Positive attitude • Technical savvy • Collaboration • Inclusive • Hopeful • Civic-minded • Confidence LIABILITIES ASSETS

  31. …no matter what your profession – doctor, lawyer, architect, accountant – if you are an American, you better be good at the touchy-feely service stuff, because anything that can be digitized can be outsourced to either the smartest or the cheapest producer, or both…. Everyone has to focus on what exactly is [his] value-add. - Paraphrase of Jaithirth Rao, President of Indian accounting firm MphasiS

  32. 11 Tips for Millennial Management • Provide structure. • Provide leadership and guidance. • Encourage self-assuredness and “can-do” attitudes. • Take advantage of teaming. • Encourage them to join. • Listen. • Millennials are up for challenge and change. • Take advantage of their computer, cell phone, and electronic literacy. • Capitalize on their affinity for networking. • Provide a life-work balanced workplace. • Provide a fun, employee-centered workplace. DEVELOP SURVEY QUESTIONS

  33. Implications for the Classroom Goal: Review the day, synthesize and apply our learning to our work.

  34. Write Around • For TWO minutes, write your thoughts, reactions, reflections, or feelings about what you have learned and discussed today. • When time is up, you will be asked to pass your paper clockwise at your table. • Read the paper you receive and again write your thoughts, reactions, reflections, or feelings. • Continue the process until you are asked to stop.

  35. For most of history, kids grew up in the dark intellectually… In terms of knowing the world you lived in, as a kid you were pretty much left in the dark. Until you got to school… One of the key purposes of school was to lead as many kids as possible out of the intellectual darkness into the intellectual light. That is what made being an educator a truly noble calling: We were the people who showed the kids the light… There’s one big problem with this noble thought today: Today’s kids grow up in the light.

  36. Somehow, schools have decided that all the light that surround kids – that is, their electronic connections to the world – is somehow detrimental to their education.

  37. “Whenever I go to school,” says one student… “I have to power down.” He’s not just talking about his devices – he’s talking about his brain. Schools, despite our best intentions, are leading kids away from the light. –Marc Prensky, “Turning on the Lights”

  38. Walk-Around Protocol • Walk around the room and find someone with a different quote. • Talk for 2 minutes, collecting observations and insights from your partner. • You will be asked to find a new partner several times. • Return to your table and compare notes.

  39. In view of the very radical shift in the economical and social world in which our students will function, it is frightening to realize that the structure of our classrooms has not changed. We structure our classes as if our students will work within static and individualistic economic structures. – Spencer Kagan

  40. 21st Century Thinking • Move to a table with others who teach your same content area. • Read “21st Century Thinking Skills” • Discuss: Given this information, what are the implications for our instructional decisions?

  41. Gallery Walk Goal: Develop a survey to obtain background information about your students.
