3. You may be a seasoned teacher or trainer, but learners are changing regardless of their age due to life experience, technology influences outside of the classroom, and demands of daily life. IT providers, administrators, facilities are purchasing and installing hardware and software to make your life easier – or so they say. But we’re here to make sure that the help you receive is what you need, and that it is applicable to the changing learner.

4. Please share… What experiences in school really engaged you?
How do you use technology outside of your workspace?
In the learning environment, what pet peeves do you have?
Let’s talk about your experiences briefly.

5. Andragogy (Adults) Dependence to Self-directed
Experience leads to resource for learning
Malcolm Knowles – Godfather of Andragogy - andro (man) agog (lead or cognate) – lead the man. Self directed learning for adults. Is there a reason why we don’t use this same philosophy to teach children?

8. The digital learner
Digital natives, also known as the net generation are described as those who have had access to computers, video games, the Internet and other digital services since their childhood. Typically they are thinking globally, tolerant of diversity, and appreciate freedom and collaboration. These kids embrace change; they want to be measured and want to see how they are growing. As the children become adults, the expectation from any training environment remains the same. In fact, chances are they won’t thrive in what most of consider to be a traditional learning environment of lecture or presentation, followed by independent practice or rote tasks and concluding with a paper/pencil test.
The expectation is to be Learning the tools and the skills of remaking the content – the application and synthesis levels we say on the Bloom’s chart.
Informal and social learning are making a big difference toward formal learning as well. Formal learning is what we’re used to seeing in the classroom, but those casual life experiences, on the job training, or shared learning in social settings help each of us grow as well. We can capitalize on the sum of it all.

10. Professional growth Tools for Delivery Presentation Style Tasks
Next Steps
Spend 5-10 minutes reflecting on your own previous training experiences. What environments have you excelled in? What tools do you use for delivery, is your presentation style and content reflective of 21st century learning, are your participants collaborating, completing tasks that are real-world applicable, problem based? Do you provide your learners with next steps for the implementation of the new knowledge. Journal your thoughts so you are able to later refer back for documentation of your own growth, as well as what is exhibited by your students.
