Sorry. I forgot to mention the new (April/May) edition of Innovate, the journal of online education. I know that I've been banging on about the "Net" generation for a while now, but...
Over the last twenty years, a new generation of students has started to appear, first in our K-12 schools and more recently in our colleges and universities. Known as the Net Generation, this is a generation that has grown up with video games, computers, and the Internet. The expectations, attitudes, and technological fluency of this new generation present both a challenge and an opportunity for educators. In this special issue of Innovate, we examine how educators and educational systems can respond to the challenge and leverage the opportunity.
Especially relevant are 2 articles: Teaching & learning with the Net Generation by Kassandra Barnes, et al & Is Education 1.0 ready for Web 2.0 students? by John Thompson.
