Academia 2.0 - Kansas State University

 

 

 

 

 

The Millenials are Coming...Ready or Not.

  • They are racially and ethnically diverse
  • They are extremely independent because of divorce, day care, single parents, latchkey parenting, and the technological revolution that they are growing up alongside.
  • They feel empowered; thanks to overindulgent parents, they have a sense of security and are optimistic about the future. 

A Vision of Students Today 

 

 

A short video summarizing some of the most important characteristics of students today - how they learn, what they need to learn, their goals, hopes, dreams, what their lives will be like, and what kinds of changes they will experience in their lifetime. Created by Michael Wesch in collaboration with 200 students at Kansas State University. 

Older Than Most of Your Students

 

Smiley - Carnegie Mellon University professor Scott E. Fahlman typed twenty-five years ago: "I propose that the following character sequence for joke markers :-)".

Elk Cloner Virus - In July of 1982, an infected Apple II propogated the first computer virus onto a 5-1/4" floppy. The virus was authored in Pittsburgh by a 15-year-old high school student as a practical joke. The virus replicated by monitoring floppy disk activity and writing itself to the floppy when it was accessed.

Compact Disc -  On August 17, 1982, Philips manufactured the world's first compact disc. The CD was jointly developed by Philips and Sony.

Creating & Connecting: Research and Guidelines on Online Social and Educational Networking

 

  • 96% of students with online access use social networking technologies, such as chatting, text messaging, blogging, and visiting online communities such as Facebook,  MySpace, and Webkinz.
  • Nearly 60 percent report discussing education-related
  • 50 percent say they talk specifically about schoolwork.
  • 49 percent say that they have uploaded pictures they have made or photos they have taken
  • 22 percent report that they have uploaded video they have created. 
  • Students report they are engaging in highly creative activities on social networking internet sites including writing, art, and contributing to collaborative online projects whether or not these activities are related to schoolwork.
  • Facebook develops technologies that facilitate the spread of information through social networks, allowing people to share information online the same way they do in the real world.
  • Facebook has over 19 million registered users and ranks among the top 10 most visited Internet sites

 

The challenge for school boards and educators is that they have to keep pace with how students are using these tools in positive ways and consider how they might incorporate this technology into the school setting.
