Characteristics of Millenials“..their online life is a whole lot bigger
than just the Internet. This online life has become an entire strategy for how to live, survive and thrive in the 21st century, where cyberspace is a part of everyday life.” (Prensky, 2004: 2)
For this reason, Millennials in are referred to as Digital Natives

Digital Natives in the Classroom
Our students are no longer “little versions of us,” as they may have been in the past. In fact, they are so different from us that we can no longer use either our 20th century knowledge or our training as a guide to what is best for them educationally (Prensky, 2007, p. 2).If you lecture to them they tune out (or start texting under the desk)

The New Teaching Paradigm
Teachers need to allow & encourage students to use technology to teach themselves
Students need to share the resources they know how to access with teachers & peers
