I read over and over about the usage of technology in the classroom. The data about students that use the internet are shocking to me. I thought that there were more students using online classes to help them gain their degrees. I was actually more amazed in the percentage of students that are not taking traditional college courses. Or traditional students in college as opposed to non-traditional courses. The numbers did shock me. Maybe the uses of technology do not make learning any more fun for students any more than other students. I assumed that the Net geners would be more inclined about online classes and pushing ahead with learning than generations they have succeeded.
I honestly don't have a real reason behind the way that Net-Geners are going about learning. I would have jumped on all of this when I was in High School. I attribute this to being spoiled and taking things for granted. Although there was not always adequate usage of technology there still should have been some more students that would want to be involved in learning. I love the different ways that can enhance learning through technology. Animation and WebWork seem to be the best to me. As I learn more i intend to make others more aware and bring the students around me the learning that they deserve.
