Digital Kids: Technologically Infused Classrooms in Their Digital World
Jackie Deluna, author, educator, and expert on technology use in the classroom is now available for Keynote presentations, Seminars and Workshops!
"I am constantly hearing my fellow educators say that "today's kids are fundamentally different from the way we were when we were kids." These differences have everything to do with the fact that many of today's kids are growing up in a global digital society filled with innovative, interactive, and powerful communication technologies. For most of this generation, there's never been a time when instant technologies haven't existed. They are "digital natives". In fact, the younger they are, the more digitally fluent they are."
Digital natives process information, interact, and communicate in fundamentally different ways than any previous generation before them. Meanwhile, many of us, having grown up in a relatively low-tech, stable, and predictable world, are at best, the "digital immigrants," struggling with the unprecedented speed of change, technological innovation, overwhelming amounts of information, and the unpredictability of today's world.
This keynote presentation examines the new digital educational society and the profound implications this holds for the future of education. What does the latest neuroscientific and psychological research tell us about the role of intense and frequent experiences on the brain, particularly the young and impressionable brain? Based on the research, what inferences can we make about kids' digital experiences and how these experiences are wiring and shaping their cognitive processes? More important, what are the implications of the new digital edu-society for teaching and learning? What strategies can we use to appeal to the learning preferences and communication needs of these digital learners?
Prepare to be amazed about the newest research on these digital students' brains. Jackie's entertaining personality, excitement and passion for technology, will keep audience members on the edge of their seats.
