The stuff that they know nothing about….

what today’s student takes for granted

Finding out information from an encyclopedia.

Not knowing exactly what all of your friends are doing and thinking at every moment.

Carrying on a correspondence with real letters, especially the handwritten kind.

When Spam was just a “meat” product. Typewriter

Putting film in a camera and waiting for it to be developed. Payphones

Not knowing who was calling you on the phone. LEGO just being square blocks of various sizes, with the odd wheel, window or door.

The stuff that they never had to live without….

what today’s student takes for granted

The internet Cell phones Microwaves 200 channels of TV Instant messaging GPS E-mail

Its OK to have 15 phone numbers (none of which you actually have memorized) to reach your family of three.

There is a fundamental difference in the way children’s brains develop today compared to decades ago. The stimulation bombarding students now wires their brains to function differently.

They are not just small versions of us.

context: the next generation

what do we do? “You can ignore this breaking Millennial wave, by treating today’s [students] as you did the last generation. You can resist it, by pursuing decades-old agendas. You can ride it, by adapting as fast as you can to new needs as they arise. Or you can lead this new youth wave, by preparing for Millennials before they arrive in full force.”
