Faustino Martín's List: Generacion Net

• They are exposed to digital technology in virtually all facets of their day-to-day existence
• this is having a profound impact on their personalities, including their attitudes and approach to learning
• They are the first generation to grow up surrounded by digital media
• But to today's media literate kids, television's current methods are old-fashioned and clumsy
• This shift from broadcast to interactive is the cornerstone of the N-Generation. They want to be users-not just viewers or listeners
• time on the computer and Net is time taken away from television
• They have new powerful tools for inquiry, analysis, self-expression, influence, and play
• the similarities between the two technologies end with the screen
• They are not viewers; they are users and they are active.
• This makes the Internet fundamentally different from previous communications innovations,
• For the first time ever, children are taking control of critical elements of a communications revolution
• this forces them to develop thinking and investigative skills-and much more. They must become critics
• Because these kids have the tools to question, challenge, and disagree, they are becoming a generation of critical thinkers.
• Digital kids are learning precisely the social skills that will be required for effective interaction in the digital economy.
• Until now education has tended to focus on the teacher not the student
• The new media, particularly the Internet, enables centering of the learning experience on the individual rather than on the transmitter.
• Learner-centered education begins with an evaluation of the abilities, learning style, social context and other important factors of the student that affect learning. The digital media enables students to be treated as individuals
• Learning will become a social activity, facilitated by a new generation of educators.
• The teacher acts as a resource and consultant to the teams.
• facilitates the learning process
• acquired collaborative, research, analytical, presentation, and resourcing skills. With the assistance of a "teacher", they are constructing knowledge and their world.
• the digital media is a necessary but insufficient condition for reinvention of education.
• The schools need to become learning organizations themselves.
• The new media has helped create a culture for learning, where the learner enjoys enhanced interactivity and connections with others
• They construct narratives that make sense out of their own experiences.
• a whole generation of teachers needs to learn new tools, new approaches, and new skills.

• Lo bueno que tienen webs como Facebook, Tuenti, Twitter y demás, es que puedes mantenerte en contacto con tus amistades en la red. Que eso está muy bonito y tal como idea, como concepto. Lo malo es cuando hay gente a la que odias descomunalmente a la que tienes que aceptar en Facebook por cojones, para no quedar mal, vaya.
