Chapter 5

Don't you get bored when every single teacher and every single class is the same and everyday is the same- powerpoint, notes, then homework. Well I do. In Don Tapscott's Grown Up Digital Chapter 5 he talks about how the 8 net gen norms; freedom, customization, scrutiny, integrity, collaboration, entertainment, speed, and innovation can help make it so its easy to learn for students. I think that if teachers start using these then their classes wont be as repeitive and they wouldnt be so boring. If they used entertainment and speed I think that students would be much more involved in the lesson and they will actually pay attention and they will know what is going on. It would be easier for students to learn because all of the students would be involved and it would be quick, and high school students like quick. This would change the style of teaching from almost every teacher because they wouldnt be able to just be repetivite and they wouldnt do power points every day which arent always entertaining and they are almost never quick. He also talks about how students should be collaborating with eachother and not just relying off of the teacher trying to teach.
