  4. Read each term and determine which best describes you. Place yourself in a line as if these definitions were on a continuum. • Digital Native • Digital Immigrant • Digitally Naïve • Non-digitalist Value Line / Split and Slide

  5. Digital Natives have grown up in the digital world using technology as a way to communicate, record, and understand society. They have had access to computers, cell phones, email, and other forms of technology since birth. Digital Natives speak the language of technology. “Students are not just using technology differently today, but are approaching their life and daily activities differently because of technology” (Prensky, 2006) Digital Native

  6. A person who has become familiar with computers, the Internet, and other digital technology and as a young adult has adopted many or most aspects of the new technology. In a sense, they have “learned the new language”. Digital Immigrant

  7. Those who have had simplistic interactions with technology and digital media but they are unaware of the potentials of technology beyond the surface. Digitally Naive

  8. Those who evade the use of information technology and digital media. Non-digitalists

  9. Read each term and determine which best describes you. Place yourself in a line as if these definitions were on a continuum. • Digital Native • Digital Immigrant • Digitally Naïve • Non-digitalist Value Line / Split and Slide

  10. Brain-Based Learning • Shoulder Buddies: Share AHA moments from looped slides

  11. The brain actively attends to concentrated information for 8-15 minutes. After 15 minutes or less, the brain becomes distracted with daydreaming or attending to external stimuli. Medina, Sousa, Willis Think Pad Sharing and Learning Together How does this research impact delivery of instruction?

  12. When students feel anxious, the amygdala blocks learning by scrambling learning circuits and switching information to the lower 80% of brain used by animals for survival, instead of using the 20% of the prefrontal cortex where higher learning occurs. Willis Think Pad Sharing and Learning Together How does this research influence a teacher’s choice of strategies to promote learning at higher cognitive levels?
