I read a great article today on students today and how we are not meeting their needs. http://www.news.com/8301-10784_3-9928174-7.html?part=rss&am
This research confirms exactly what we all have been believing the last few years. Students believe in instant gratification and they are ever becoming producers of content and expect others to view it, comment it and expand on it.
Our profession needs to increase its technology skills to better meet the needs of students, or at least use our students' knowledge to increase our own knowledge, thereby empowering our students to take control of there own learning...and if we don't...dinosaurs come to mind, but then again, I am preaching to the converted aren't i?
