Students today are what Prensky (2001) refers to as digital natives. They were born and grew up with technology always. However, just because they have grown up with it does not mean they know how to always use technology in the best way. A challenge with learn, unlearn, relearn could be resistance to a new way of doing things. With social media, students want to get on Twitter or Instagram and post comments or memes, Using it in an academic way is going to require an unlearning and a relearning, which may take some time and face some backlash. ]]> 2018-06-11 03:17:22 UTC https://padlet.com/sjaynes2/63otgatqpu79/wish/266529233 sjaynes2 https://padlet.com/sjaynes2/63otgatqpu79/wish/266529723 Learning, unlearning, and relearning supports the needs of students because it forces them to unlearn and relearn how to use technology in a way that helps them academically, which is a big change for a lot of them. Learning how to use websites, search engines, citation creators, etc. to help them gain and spread knowledge supports the ISTE standard of being an empowered learner (International Society for Technology in Education, 2016).  ]]> 2018-06-11 03:24:53 UTC https://padlet.com/sjaynes2/63otgatqpu79/wish/266529723 sjaynes2 https://padlet.com/sjaynes2/63otgatqpu79/wish/266529869 In thinking specifically about my aforementioned example of incorporating social media academically into the classroom, the unlearning and relearning process allows students to flex their creativity in how they wish to communicate information. Once the basic skills are gone over, such as appropriate tone in academic writing, how to check sources for reliability, and sharing information responsibly online. This meets ISTE standard of being a Digital Citizen (International Society for Technology in Education, 2016) which goes over the importance of students knowing how to safely navigate the web. A benefit of learning, unlearning, and relearning gives teachers the opportunity to discuss this important new 21st-Century skill that students need now.]]> 2018-06-11 03:27:31 UTC https://padlet.com/sjaynes2/63otgatqpu79/wish/266529869
