Evolution of Generational Learning

Generation M Multi-tasker Media Multi-Modal Multi-Nodal Variance (Differentiation) Makes Reaching Them Possible

Variance (Variety)

Understanding the Individual Differentiation: “By definition, differentiation is wary of approaches to teaching and learning that standardize. Standard-issue students are rare, and educational approaches that ignore academic diversity in favor of standardization are likely to be counterproductive in reaching the full range of learners.” – Tomlinson (2006)

What We’re Looking For 3

What I’m Looking For… Create Consume Remix Share

Edu-Blogger: YouTube Video: Have You Been Paying Attention?Have You Been Paying Attention? “…Has anyone seen this garbage? Students don’t need to remix anything! Educators must teach them to be original, have original thought, and do original work! Imagine if society worked this way. We’d still be hoping someone would invent the rolling stone so as to create a wheel. Imagine a world where using other people’s work to create your own was ok. We’d never have gotten past the toaster to see the benefits of the microwave. We’d never have gotten past swing music to experience amazing original works like Elton John’s “The Lion King” or other seminal works…”

Remix, Sample or Steal? Can You Feel The love Tonight? Save tonight, fight the break of dawn, come tomorrow, tomorrow I’ll be gone… You’re beautiful! If I could, then I would, I’ll go wherever you will go, way up high, or down low, I’ll go wherever you will go… And she will be loved – and she will be loved… I can’t stand to fly, I’m not that naïve, I’m just out to find, the better part of me, I’m more than a bird, I’m more than a plane… Harry Truman, Doris Day, Red China, Johnnie Ray, South Pacific, Walter Winchell, Joe DiMaggio, Joe McCarthy, Richard Nixon, Studebaker, television, North Korea, South Korea, Marilyn Monroe We’re not gonna take it, no we ain’t gonna take it – we’re not gonna take it anymore Wherever you go – whatever you do, I will be right here waiting for you Just a small town girl – living in a lonely world – she took the midnight train going anywhere There was a time when I was so broken hearted I think we’re alone now, there doesn’t seem to be anyone around See the stone set in her eyes, see the thorn twist in her side, and I’m waiting for you, with or without you Take on me, Take me up, I’ll be gone, ????? On your mark, get set, and go now – gotta dream and we just know now I come from a land down under, where women roll and men thunder… When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me, speaking words of wisdom, let it be 1790?!?!?!
