Resources

Hi Everyone, I thought we could use this page to help us collaborate on some of the resources we will be using to answer our research questions. I think if we post a resource, we should not forget to post where we got it from and a description of what it is for or what it encompasses. Whatcha think?

Deb Polson - Love it!

VARK: [] -Discusses learning styles, provides study tips for students of each particular learning style, provides learning style quiz

VARK: @http://cstep.morrisville.edu/resources/vark_learningstyles.pdf -Morrisville State College site that explains what VARK is and it provides a questionnaire to help a person understand their learning style.

Marc Prensky [] -The authority on digital natives and immigrants

Here are a few links regarding learning styles that Dr. Porter provided in a response to me (Deb): @http://www4.ncsu.edu/unity/lockers/users/f/felder/public/ILSpage.html

@http://homepages.wmich.edu/~buckleye/miinventory.htm

@http://changingminds.org/explanations/learning/kolb_learning.htm

The following link provides information about the different generations. It is about a book titled Generational Learning but there are other links on the page that might be useful us. (Deb) []

This is an article that was available in the Walden University Proquest database, Proquest ID 1374772511 Nicoletti, A., & Merriman, W.. (2007, April). Teaching Millennial Generation Students. Momentum, 38(2), 28-31. Retrieved July 20, 2009, from Research Library. (Document ID: 1374772511).

Wikipedia: Definitions of Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants (Lisa) []


 * It is my understanding that Wikipedia and other wikis are not "reliable" sources of information and cannot be used as references. You might check this with Dr. Porter, but in all my other classes we were not permitted to use Wikipedia.(Deb) **

Article by Marc Prensky titled "Listen to the Natives"; it talks about how educators and school should focus on engagement and motivation for today's digital natives; He says even though digital natives are fluent in digital technology, they lack the essentials of learning; In case the link doesn't work, I retrieved in from Walden's Library (Dana)

Here is another one from the Walden Library; 'Reaching Digital Natives on Their Terms'; talks about making the tech environment student centered; might be helpful if we find differences in digitals and natives in regards to ability to learn using current classroom technologies maybe:

 * 12/26/10 Deb Since we discussed our groups at Gen X and Millennials (GenY), it helped define where we needed to research so I ran through Walden and then some search engines: here is what I came up with: **
