Today’s kids are different than kids were 15 years ago. They learn differently and as a result feel disconnected from schools that were designed for another era.
These digital kids take in and respond to rapidly transmitted sights and sounds whether on television, computers or video games.
Digital kids are hypercommunicators.
They use many means to stay in constant touch with their peers and to access information about their world. They commonly use land phones, mobile phones, pagers, handheld devices (PDAs), email, the Internet, instant messaging and fax machines.
Digital kids are multitaskers.
They have no problem with watching TV, browsing the Internet, listening to music and communicating with their friends — often all at the same time.
Digital kids are goal-oriented.
When multitasking, they may pursue multiple goals at the same time. Digital kids are ambitious and success-oriented.
