    2. Emerging Trends and Practices Noble and Worthy Mission Bringing learning to the disenfranchised Those who have not been served by traditional classroom settings Interesting (and exciting) times! New tools, new techniques, new theories! After centuries of sameness (since printing press) we now are confronted with a new context in higher education

    3. New Context Higher education is far different than just a decade ago -- We are no longer alone! University of Phoenix – now 150,000 online students around the globe We are no longer a monopoly of private and public non-profit institutions For-profits and soon international alternatives Students have a choice – competition is emerging in ways never before contemplated The student has been granted consumer power First trend – DIGITAL NATIVES

    4. Breaking the Division Mark Prensky’s Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants “Our Digital Immigrant instructors, who speak an outdated language (that of the pre-digital age), are struggling to teach a population that speaks an entirely new language.” Natives “are used to the instantaneity of hypertext, downloaded music, phones in their pockets, a library on their laptops, beamed conversations and instant messaging. They’ve been networked most or all of their lives.”

    5. Digital Natives So if Digital Immigrant educators really want to reach Digital Natives – e.g. all their students – they will have to change. It’s high time for them to stop their grousing, and as the Nike motto of the Digital Native generation says, “Just do it!” They will succeed in the long run – and their successes will come that much sooner if their administrators support them. Who are the Millennial Students?
