Educating the Net Generation | EDUCAUSE
The Net Generation has grown up with information technology. The aptitudes, attitudes, expectations, and learning styles of Net Gen students reflect the environment in which they were raised—one that is decidedly different from that which existed when faculty and administrators were growing up. This collection explores the Net Gen and the implications for institutions in areas such as teaching, service, learning space design, faculty development, and curriculum. Contributions by educators and students are included. Professional printing options are available.Leading Learning/masada college
Masada College is committed to providing schooling which is appropriate for all our learners enabling them to be effective young people who make a difference. The world our children are growing up in will be different, and we need to educate them for their future, not our past. At Masada College, through our Leading Learning educational package, we respect students’ talents, develop their creativity, their sense of responsibility, thinking skills and encourage them at all times to strive for their personal best. Through our experiential learning approach which is entwined with our Culture of Thinking Program and our Raising Responsibility behaviour management system, learners develop critical thinking, problem solving, improved decision making, educated risk taking and a curiosity and love for learning. We work closely with each individual child to develop personal strengths and capabilities helping them to explore themselves and their world in a structured and safe environment.

What is Project-Based Learning?
Project Based Learning is an instructional approach built upon authentic learning activities that engage student interest and motivation. These activities are designed to answer a question or solve a problem and generally reflect the types of learning and work people do in the everyday world outside the classroom. Project Based Learning is synonymous with learning in depth.The energy generated when students take ownership of their learning is surprisingly similar across different education settings. I've witnessed this energy in two school districts that vary greatly in size and demographics: Hudson Public Schools in Massachusetts and Jefferson County Public Schools in Kentucky.

Berman is widely regarded as a national leader in service learning and student success. Student Leadership in Hudson

As the geeky father of a 9-year-old son and an 11-year-old daughter, one of my worst fears as they grow older is that they won't be Googled well. Not that they won't be able to use Google well, mind you, but that when a certain someone (read: admissions officer, employer, potential mate) enters "Tess Richardson" into the search line of the browser, what comes up will be less than impressive. That a quick surf through the top five hits will fail to astound with examples of her creativity, collaborative skills, and change-the-world work. Or, even worse, that no links about her will come up at all. I mean, what might "Your search did not match any documents" imply?
