Those of us who were not born into the digital world but have, at some later point in our lives, become fascinated by and adopted many or most aspects of the new technology are, and always
will be compared to them, are Digital Immigrants.

*Teaching the Digital Generation: No More Cookie-Cutter High Schools by Kelly, McCain, and Jukes
How is learning different for our students today than it was 10
years ago?
How have instructional methods changed? How has the
learning environment changed?
How are teaching, learning, & assessment more learner-focused instead of subject-focused
than they were 10 years ago?
How did you make these changes? What challenges did you
encounter and how did we overcome them?
How did you get your
community to understand and support a new vision for teaching,
learning, and assessment?
What strategies did you use to overcome the challenges you encountered?
How will you honor…
The research?
The time you’ve spent learning?
The students you serve?
