The App Generation
Chapters 4 - 6
The devices that lead the future...
Key Point #1
MEANING... Students are less likely to focus on developing a meaningful philosophy of life today, leaving them less prepared for their future and more focused on the here and now.
Key Point #2
MEANING...Failure is not an option and when it happens, both students and parents may put more pressure on the educator than the student who is generally responsible for the hardship. Educators need to create a learning environment that all students can be successful in, but the students and parents must realize their responsibility in learning and individual growth.
Key Point #3
MEANING...Technology is a great benefit to daily life, but has limitations and can be overused especially when it comes to personal/social uses.
Key Point #4
MEANING...Students rely on strict directions to complete tasks and often get caught up in asking the educator too many questions too soon. Students must become willing to explore and create on their own with less direction.
Key Point #5
MEANING...Students need more direction on elaboration, fluency, and originality. Students also need opportunities to express their creativeness in their learning to encourage long lasting learning.
