Millennials and Technology
While doing some other research this week, I happened upon a good, discussion-worthy article from an October 2005 issue of The Chronicle of Higher Education about the Millennial generation and their preferences for teaching, learning, and technology. The article explores students' technology use and explores some of the "myths" about Millennials:

In the same vein is the new ECAR (EDUCAUSE Center for Applied Research) study for 2007, which looked at undergraduate students and their technology use. That study is online at:

Together, these two documents may get you thinking about how our students are using technology to enhance their own learning, and how we could incorporate technology in our own teaching methods.
Have a great week -
