Video Reflection: Millennial Generation

This video reiterates everything we've been learning throughout the entire semester, that is that the youth today, those we will be teaching, are a generation brought up with technology. This not only influences the way they live and think, but also the ideas and hopes they have for technology in the future. I can't help but laugh hearing these kids talk about how they have to be the technology tutors for their parents, because I have had to do the same thing with mine growing up. I guess this idea makes me lean towards the idea that if you can't beat them you should join them. I see no reason why I can't use the media that kids are familiar with to teach them the things that I love. The only obstacle I can see now is having that technology available at whatever school I have the pleasure of teaching at. So I can only hope for the best, and do all I can to assure that students are prepared not only with what I have to teach them, but in this ever growing technological world we live in.
