Learners
Today’s learners appear smarter, yet
they can’t read as their parents do and
they are addicted to the internet. And
even in classes, their concentration is
questionable as they are uneasy to
simply sit and listen. They become alive
again through video presentations,
group activities and computer classes.
This lesson involves on how to
understand the digital learners and
what are their benefits in engaging
this kind of learners in technology
based instructional media.
Scientists said that there are positive
benefits derived from the use of
information technology or digital
resources and these counterbalance
possible negative effects of technology
on children. In addition, daily exposure
to high technology-personal computers,
video game gadgets, cellphones, and
internet search sites- stimulates the
brain by strengthening and creating
neural circuits
Furthermore, this current technological
revolution is creating an intellectual revolution,
faster and better than ever before.
Knowledge is constructed uniquely and
individually in multiple ways and it is
constructed through a variety of tools,
resources, experiences, and contexts.
In addition, today’s generations where most of
the students are very dependent on technology
and for that most of the activities in school
require computer skills. Assignments must be
encoded, passing of requirements through
email. Make presentation through PowerPoint,
edit a video, make an account for school
purposes, and etcetera.
