It will be interesting to see how these kids are when they get older and need to interact with peers outside of technology. ]]> 2020-10-15 14:41:34 UTC https://padlet.com/learning23/iu8352jbnewbywzy/wish/832546231 https://padlet.com/learning23/iu8352jbnewbywzy/wish/832549494 It's great they will be tech savvy but technology will have to keep improving to hold their attention. I see a lot of students getting bored with the current technology offered already.

It really boggles my mind how connected they will be with other kids all over the world and all the information they can access from the comforts of their homes. ]]> 2020-10-15 14:48:06 UTC https://padlet.com/learning23/iu8352jbnewbywzy/wish/832575827 https://padlet.com/learning23/iu8352jbnewbywzy/wish/832580242 The information that less reading is occurring in the classrooms and at home.  Books are not getting put into students hands. I also struggle with the creative/art side lacking due to technology being so predominant in this generation.

This generation constantly needs something to hold their attention. They are relying on technology so much that some students can't even form/hand-write one paragraph. Most of them have no clue how to read cursive let alone be able to even sign their name. ]]> 2020-10-15 14:52:47 UTC https://padlet.com/learning23/iu8352jbnewbywzy/wish/832596761 https://padlet.com/learning23/iu8352jbnewbywzy/wish/832596892 The knowledge that this generation will be more tech savvy then their own parents.

Our students are losing their ability to communicate with others and they expect instant answers. ]]> 2020-10-15 14:54:40 UTC https://padlet.com/learning23/iu8352jbnewbywzy/wish/832605379 https://padlet.com/learning23/iu8352jbnewbywzy/wish/832704681 Working with students on the Spectrum, I do notice a difference in lack of social skills for my younger students than my older students.

Sometimes I think we take the idea that kids know technology better than us to an advantage. They do know how to work technology, but not in an education way. ]]> 2020-10-15 15:17:39 UTC https://padlet.com/learning23/iu8352jbnewbywzy/wish/832713416 https://padlet.com/learning23/iu8352jbnewbywzy/wish/832715370 The idea that these students are being given technology at an early age by parents that are older and do not fully understand how to use the technology.

These skills also need taught in-person with usage of technology. ]]> 2020-10-15 15:20:32 UTC https://padlet.com/learning23/iu8352jbnewbywzy/wish/832727220
