Today's Students
Marc Prensky coined the term "digital native" to describe today's students who have grown up immersed in the world of technology. According to Prensky, the current generation of students actually think and process information differently than previous generations. Instructors are finding that they must rethink their teaching methods and strategies in order to engage this group of students. The purpose of this site is to provide additional ideas and tools that could enhance the great teaching and learning activities already taking place within our classrooms at MASE.
Dr. Michael Wesch created a video which helps to demonstrate the daily lives of digital natives titled "A Vision of Students Today".
