Strategies for Success:Enhancing Learning Through Podcasting

Editor's Notes

  1. Millennials have grown up in a multicultural, multiethnic and global world. Communication through technology is a cornerstone for this generation . ( cell phones, text-messaging, and emailing create a constantly connected environment. Multitasking is a way of life. Staying connected is essential. Zero tolerance for delays. Perceive teachers as technological dinosaurs.Also called NET-Geners , they gravitate toward group activity, identify with their parents values and spend more time on homework and housework and less time on television than those a few years older. Their formative years were spent in highly structured environments. They grew up enculturated in terrorism, heroism, patrotism, and globalism. They are unaware of a time before the internet. They are confident and self-assured. They believe it is cool to be smart. They are fascinated with new technology.. They expect their learning environments to meet their specific needs and adapt to their prsonal preferences. They learn best when learningis socailly constructed, contextual, structured yet self paced and outcome oriented.
  2. Medical sounds, tutoring etc.
  3. Setting: Recommended size and space. Distractions, noise etc…
