1. Are Simon's descriptions of millennials characteristic of anyone you know? (Elaborate)

2. How can we process and use his valuable information as high school educators?

3. Post any opinion or take-away that you have after viewing this video....]]> 2017-01-05 15:55:27 UTC https://padlet.com/maclle/cuzoqqbdjxqx/wish/145516862 Loved the video!My immediate take-aways:- We have to create opportunities of interaction...in order for relationships to form.- The release of dopamine occurs when we receive validation and acknowledgement (associated with the euphoric feeling of drinking, and gambling)....this is powerful! maclle https://padlet.com/maclle/cuzoqqbdjxqx/wish/145531195 2017-01-05 16:35:03 UTC https://padlet.com/maclle/cuzoqqbdjxqx/wish/145531195 I actually saw this video before you shared it and totally agree with it to an extent. As I am considered a millennial, I don't feel like this video describes myself. However, I know people in my generation that it describes to a tee. Validation is obviously a powerful tool and validating our students can lead to greater interest in school, higher motivation and feelings of success. My take-away is that we are educating a generation in a system that wasn't built for them. However, the society they will eventually operate in as adults isn't built for them either. The workforce they will have to join is full of baby boomers and they are the rule makers. If millennials don't learn to adapt and problem solve, then he is exactly right, they won't make it. https://padlet.com/maclle/cuzoqqbdjxqx/wish/145532237 2017-01-05 16:38:21 UTC https://padlet.com/maclle/cuzoqqbdjxqx/wish/145532237 I'm not sure i actually really understood the video in its entirety, but so far.... I don't really agree with it. You can't really separate an entire generation & basically say that they feel more entitled to things just because we have more things that are being offered to us like technology. He did have a few valid points but with me being a Millennial myself... I don't agree with this video. But maybe its just because I don't fully understand his point... I feel like he's just trying to say that we're spoiled brats at the end of the day... brianna_coleman https://padlet.com/maclle/cuzoqqbdjxqx/wish/145555061 2017-01-05 17:52:56 UTC https://padlet.com/maclle/cuzoqqbdjxqx/wish/145555061 https://padlet.com/maclle/cuzoqqbdjxqx/wish/145611726 My biggest take-away was the idea that we need to create opportunities in the classroom for students to foster relationships. ]]> 2017-01-05 22:36:23 UTC https://padlet.com/maclle/cuzoqqbdjxqx/wish/145611726 martin_drayton https://padlet.com/maclle/cuzoqqbdjxqx/wish/145621704 My son shared it with me and then I shared it with the English IV team because I felt we could use it in the classroom.  The team has not yet had the opportunity to discuss it.

My son works for VMWare, a software company, that is now part of Dell, and it was one of his coworkers that sent it to him.  Interesting how things seem to come full circle.  Great ideas catch on quickly.  I get a kick out of seeing my son get excited about something that we have been doing for some time.  The first idea was about developing relationships.  I loved it.  


The video is really powerful and makes the concept of why first so very clear.

I've seen the change in demeanor in my classroom when it comes to having the patience to start/finish any given task. I think our school tries to get our students to disconnect from their phones so that they can interact with each other in person, but that some teachers won't fight that battle. Unfortunately, those teachers don't realize how big of a problem they are creating. https://padlet.com/maclle/cuzoqqbdjxqx/wish/145733043
I appreciated that his discussion was supported with scientific data and not just a "rant" about phones.]]> 2017-01-06 16:51:25 UTC https://padlet.com/maclle/cuzoqqbdjxqx/wish/145733043 Generally Agreed https://padlet.com/maclle/cuzoqqbdjxqx/wish/145992398 I tend to agree with his overall conclusions regarding technology and the connect/disconnect conundrum it creates.  The ability to access a dopamine drip at any time can be disabling. All things in moderation, perhaps? - Just like coaches emphasize sportsmanship and character in addition to the exercise, we have to teach connection to academic content in meaningful human terms with technology as a tool and not a means to an ends. Our current cel phone policy support that. I think Sinek's conclusions support this as well with some science to back it up]]> 2017-01-09 14:41:22 UTC https://padlet.com/maclle/cuzoqqbdjxqx/wish/145992398
