What do the students think?

I have read a number of articles about teen digital culture. I have also seen lectures and presentations on this topic. One of the common themes I noticed through all this research was, the information was coming from the older generation and not the teens themselves. So what do they really think?

In Miriam’s blog she discusses an ICT presentation given by students. The content of their presentation was similiar to what I have previously read and blogged about. Students actually feel there is a lack of technological presence in classrooms and are experiencing boredom in our classes.

However, it is not all doom and gloom. We havent completely missed the boat. Miriam suggests by using ICT as one of a number of teaching tools we can extend and deepen learning.
