Characteristics and Demographics
“This is a reflexively optimistic cadre of graduates, feeling, if
anything, existentially freed up by this era of radical change.
They’re nervous about the job market but figure it’ll sort itself out.
They describe their parents with shocking regularity as their “best
friends.” They’ve lived online for so long it’s a default setting, one
they believe lends them a more global-minded perspective than
that of their elders. Their tone overall was more bemused than
outraged ”
– “Class of 09,” New York magazine, Emily Nussbaum ,June
15-22, 2009

Social Learning and Self-Teaching
http://learning-2.nuvvo.com/lesson/1528-gen-y-and-digital-learning-styles
• Students can construct own learning path
• Use discussion to discover community threads, on and offline
• Education can be conformed to the learner
• Instant feedback loop using social media
• Peer support systems• Work through cognitive roadblocks
“In the 21st Century classroom, the student
wants to control the how, what, and when a task is completed.
Social media and other web-based
technologies are well suited to provide
avenues for students to engage in a social, collaborative, and
active dialogue in the online learning
environment with their peers and
instructor.”
