It is important to understand how to better engage students from different generation cohorts. Understanding their learning preferences will allow us to understand how to keep them engaged in the classroom.

I got a better understanding of Gen Y and Gen Z and how they prefer to learn. I learned what is required to better engage these younger generation students.

  What I understand from this module.  For the Y Z generation critical thinking is the missing learning objective.  With all of the ability that technology has provided for the Y Z generation from birth, they have been cripppled with process, and spoon fed, with the ease of obtaining knowledge.  what required research in the past is a tap away.  Critical thinking is an essential part of problem solving in every aspect of life.  As teachers we will be required to provide critical thinking as a part of the learning applications.

Using personal experiences has helped carry on a great conversation in the classroom

Using varied learning strategies helps to reach multigenerational classes.

We become a vessel of information to students who thinks we are a drive through... Theyre so fast pace learner

Michael Flores

I wish i had gone over this content in my previous job, as I dealt with a lot of Gen Y and Z associates.  For the most part, I used a lot of the strategies listed, but there are some points I could have used to make my job easier, but also to share with my fellow Coaches.

This section was super informative. I'll be equipped to better adapt my course objectives to a variety of different generations and their preferred learning and delivery modalities. I'm especially excited to teach outside of my own generation, both younger and older, and see how I can create a flexible yet effective learning environment.

The generations can learn valuable skills from each other.

Ora Robinson

This was a very insightful module for me.  I have not taken the type to read about Gen X and Y and this gave me an opportunity to understand that population.  I now know why the students like how I approach teaching and learning.  I include them as collaborative partners and emphasize I am their coach/facilitator of knowledge. I will teach them how to acquire knowledge.  I realize the value of incorporating technology with the generations.  As the video indicated incorporate technology small, simple while thinking Big.

I have found that working with multigenerational can benefit all.  The older can teach the younger and vice versa.  They all have something in common even though they are from different generations.

This module reinforced the need to provide active, experiential learning opportunities in our instruction.  The Chinese proverb clearly demonstrates this - we learn by doing.  It reinforces the need to be a guide or facilitator of learning versus simply lecturing on a topic.  Many great active learning techniques were provided inlcuding the use of small-group discussion, class presentations, group projects, and service learning opportunities.  This module also emphasized the need to teach the younger generations critical thinking skills.  Although they are mass consumers of information, they may not be as skilled at dissecting the information, developing an informed position based on the information found, and being able to defend the position.  It is importnat to teach future professionals how to be real-world problem solvers and to focus on outcomes versus intentions only.

I appreciate the need to introduce the big picture and the statement that each student brings his or her own learning objectives to the class and that most are tied to career goals. And this is the conversation absent from most public schools I have experienced. I am an avid believer that unless we start talking to students about their hopes, dreams, and plans for a big picture life no later than late elementary school, we're missing the opportunity to get them to understand the connections between schooling and thier own lives. These conversations and plans can also drive our planning and the purchase of materials required to assist them in reaching their desired destinations. However, the dialogue seems a monologue with adults perceiving they know what students should need - without affirming that assumption through conversations with students and families. Hopefully, it's more common than my experience in public schools.

The instructor needs to develop materials that would engage the students. The more the students participate in the process, the more they understand, the more enhanced theier levels of competency.

Brigitte Hartley

I enjoyed learning about each generation and what they have in common. 

Annie Tinsley

Each generation can learn from each other. My lesson plan must include a way to use that connection.

Kwinn Doran

I appreciate that this course keeps stressing that at the core all learners share more in common than not, including across generations.

A Chinese proverb is presented for more thought and reflection:

"I hear, and I forget; 

I see, and I remember;

I do and I understand."

And understanding leads to change and growth! 

So true and profound!!!!
